Change employer under PGWP?

Postby winterwisp on Wed Aug 15, 2007 8:04 am

I have a quick question, is it possible to change employers for your PGWP?

The reason I ask is I got a job this week and since I only have 2 weeks left out of my 90 days to apply for a PGWP I accepted the job.

One day later another company asked me back for a 2nd interview and to be honest I prefer this job much more. I don't want to screw over the company that has already offered me a job but since I can't start working anyway until I actually get the PGWP I was wondering if I should try and wait it out and not send in my PGWP application with the letter my current employer will give me. Or if I should apply and then later try to change the employer?

Thanks!

I am in almost the same situation and was also looking for some advice. I have a job offer and applied, but not yet received my PGWP but now I have a chance at a better job and wondered how to change employers after you receive the PGWP.

From my understanding you can change your employers when your study permit is still valid, but how about when my study permit expires?

I stand a very good chance of getting the other job but their hiring process is long and will not be completed before my study permit expires. I was hoping someone on here could advise on how to change employers on a PGWP, I am sure you can but there are lots of conditions?

Any help would be appreciated!
