You'd need a new LMO, thats how a temporary work permit works, its only good for that job with that company in that location. Once you get the LMO you need to get a new TWP.

Did no one explain that to you at the time?


Accompanying spouses get "open" work permits.


Have you run into the usual temporary resident credit roadblocks yet? That used to piss me off no end when I was on a TWP way back when.

Yeah, if you want to work elsewhere you will have to find another company who is willing to do the paperwork to get you another Labour Market Opinion, so you can go down to the border and get another work permit.

Sounds like a bad case of lack of research on your part, firstly on the trucking company secondly on all your options/rules regarding working/TWP here and thirdly on trucking North America style. Which province are you in? ( me guessing AB) and which company ( me guessing H&R). What do you hate about this job ?
