Question: If someone is working in Canada under the Foreign Worker program for employer "A" as a full-time front counter attendant, can they go and work for employer "B" who also has a Labour Market Opinion (LMO) for the same occupation at the same time? The foreign worker would like to continue to work with employer “A” but would also like to pick up an extra 10-20 hours a week with the second employer. Is this allowed?
Answer: The short answer is “no”. Under the current rules this would not be allowed. Labour Market Opinions are only issued by Service Canada for full time employment. Under this scenario, working for employer “A” is fine in that this is full time work. However, employer “B”’s LMO is also for full time employment and therefore part time employment can not be contemplated.
