A member's closed work permit for a Halifax role carried the condition "not authorised to work from anywhere other than stated," but his employer then wanted him to move to a new Mississauga office in Ontario — he needed to know how to get the location condition changed.
What the thread suggested, in order of how members framed it:- At the port of entry, you can ask the immigration officer for a multi-location work permit if you know in advance that your employer may need you to work from more than one place — one member noted this only works if the officer isn't rushed and is willing to add it; another member had this request declined because the officer was in a hurry and only listed the original single location.
- Once your permit is already issued with a single-location condition, get a letter from your employer explaining the change, then contact IRCC directly to explain the situation and request an amendment.
- Consulting an immigration lawyer was flagged as the safer route if you want to be sure the change is handled correctly, rather than navigating IRCC's process alone.
The practical takeaway: if there's any chance your employer will move you between locations, try to get a multi-location condition added at the port of entry; if you're already restricted to one location, get an employer letter and contact IRCC (or a lawyer) to formally request the amendment rather than just showing up to work from the new office.
