Foreign workers in Canada can still switch jobs while waiting for new work permits
Foreign nationals holding employer-specific work permits in Canada will continue to benefit from a temporary policy that allows them to change jobs or occupations without waiting for a new work permit. The policy, originally introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, was updated on May 27, 2025, according to a report by CIC News. Under the updated public policy from Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), workers with closed work permits can request permission to begin a new job while their application for a new work permit is still being processed. Normally, these workers would have to wait until their new permit is approved before starting any new employment.
