Subject: What happens if I get fired while waiting for PR?
  Hello,

I am European working in IT Industry in Vancouver. I recently renewed my 3 years work visa with my Employer and I applied to the Permanent Residence trough BC Provincial Nominee Program.

My Employer is a bit in crisis. I am a bit worried so I am wondering:

- What happens if I get fired? Can I stay in Canada and receive Employment Insurance while waiting for the Permanent Residency or do I need to leave the country?

- Assuming I can stay and I don´t find a job, can I start my own business while waiting for the Permanent Residency?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Frustrated European.

you have the right to stay, with Employment Insurance until your work visa expire, you can ask another work visa if you find another job or ask visitor visa if your paper will come in short time

Are you sure sof that you can collect EI as I know most PR holders have a minimum time ranging from 3 to 10 years before they are allowed to collect EI please correct me though if I am wrong

if you are fired, no EI.. you can only get EI which is not your fault. EI min hours are 550..

you can go back to school if you get EI..

For seasonal jobs like fishery, Tourism... we often use summer for working, fall to collect EI and go back to college..lol..
