Depending on the stage of your application for PR you may be better off just
staying with your current employer. Once you have your PR you could then work
anywhere anytime.

Now, under an EA, you must obtain a new EA under the new company. This EA may be
refused, you never know.

The fact that you have made a PR application should not affect the decision on a
temporary entry visa such as EA. Again, you never know. Not all officers appreciate
the dual intent principle.

Having an EA may have a positive impact on your PR application though.

Could someone please remind Berto the concept of dual intent is not generally
applicable to a non-immigrant application if it can be demonstrated the applicant has
substantial ties to his/her home and this application for EA should have no effect on
an immigration application.

Sure, the application for EA maybe scrutinized more closely but this does not mean
the applicant could be in variance with law or the regulations.
