Hi All, I m in CA on a closed intra company transfer work permit, which was extended this year in April. In my old work permit it was written in Condition section that 'NOT AUTHORIZED TO WORK IN ANY LOCATION OTHER THAN STATED' along with other conditions
My new work permit also had the above condition but there is a Remark section in the bottom of my new work permit which states that

Remark/Observation:
'TEMPORARY RESIDENT STATUS MAINTAINED AS PER R183(6). INTRA-COMPANY TRANSFEREE-SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE. AUTHORIZED TO WORK AT VARIOUS SITES ACROSS CANADA".

This is little confusing, am I allowed to move to different location or not?

Yes, you are. The officer was satisfied that you followed the strict condition on your old work permit, and has therefore granted you a little more flexibility. You can go work at different locations, but only for the same company, job etc. So if your company has offices in multiple cities, you will not be violating any conditions by going to work at different offices through the year.
