TL:DR

Canada just dropped a bomb: International workers can switch jobs without the usual wait time for a new permit. If you've got valid papers and an app pending, you're good to go! Big W for anyone tryna level up their career game. But, keep it 100, cause immigration is being cut for HK migrants.

Canada's Work Permit Rule Change: The Deets

Okay, so Canada's out here doing the most. They're changing up the work permit game for all you international workers. Basically, if you're already authorized to work in Canada and you're just trying to switch it up – new job, new boss, whatever – you might not have to wait for your new permit to drop before you start.

The government is saying foreign workers are now exempt from certain requirements when switching jobs. That means if you've filed for a renewal or a completely new permit, you can keep clocking in. No more sitting around twiddling your thumbs while waiting for the paperwork to clear. It's a total glow-up for the work scene, TBH.

This is clutch for anyone who needs a new permit 'cause they're changing roles at the same company, got laid off, or just found a better opportunity. Just make sure you’ve got that application in, or you're still gonna be stuck at square one.

Now, for the tea. While all this is going on. Immigration is being cut. For our people coming in from Hong Kong, student visa's are taking a -40% hit. Bruh, so while your vibing in Canada, keep it 100, because it looks like its getting harder for people to get in.
