TR to PR: Leaving job before PR decision

[borisjohnson1]

Hi guys, I’ve a question:

Can I leave my job now that I've applied for PR through this TR to PR (French grad) stream, while still waiting for decision?
I know having a job at the time of application is a requirement. However, the statute/policy says nothing about requiring one to be employed while waiting for PR decision. See: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...economic-classes/tr-pr-pathway/assessing.html

I would like to leave my job and NOT LOOK to find another until PR decision is made. Will this impact my PR decision? Thanks!

For context, I have:

• Received biometric refund on Jan 27
• No AOR yet
• Linked my application on IRCC (based on biometric refund info)

You don't need to remain employed while your application is being processed under this pathway AS LONG AS that doesn't affect your legal status here as a result.

Thanks so much! Do you have a source 100% confirming this? Will immigration officers reject the application because they wrote to my employer, and find out that I quit (even if it's 6 months after I applied to PR)?

It is in the bulletin you linked in your original post.

Would really suggest remaining employed. You never know what may happen and until you have PR approval it is always safer to remain employed. If the work environment is unsafe then I understand not working but other than that I would always keep my options open.
