Question about changing jobs before CO assigned
My husband has just been offered another job with more money but we are not due to have a CO assigned until July/August (138 application acknowledged on 9th March). Got the weekend to make a decision but worried incase DIMIA will need a reference from the new employer at some point down the line. (Obviously hubby doesnt want to mention anything to employers if he takes the job). I know we will have to inform DIMIA of this but dont want to hold up visa in any way. Anyone have any useful advice. Six months with more wages is what we could be doing with right now.

if its any help, I was told by my agent that once the application goes in , you only need notify about things like births, marriages, change of name etc.

Re: Question about changing jobs before CO assigned
I think you'd probably be ok because your application is based on the date of application and of course people don't tell them when they hand notice in etc.
With the Canada issue though maybe you should check if you all go there to live. I know friends who lived in Germany before they arrived didn't qualify for any of the reciprocal health agreements (they arrived on a temp visa so this was important). It probably won't affect you but it may be worth checking.
Good luck.

My wife changed her job after the application had gone in (and before we had a CO). There was no problem as she had passed TRA and the CO goes on that rather than what she is doing at he moment.
