Changing employer- General Employment Permit Holder

The holder of a GEP can apply to change to an employer within the type of employment for which they have been granted a permit (identified by its 4 digit SOC code). For example – a meat processing operative can move to another meat processing role.

Changing employer- Critical Skills Employment Permit Holder

The holder of a CSEP can change to an employer across a broader category of employment, for example, different engineering roles (identified by its 3-digit SOC code). The additional flexibility for CSEP holders is because their roles are identified on the Critical Skills Occupations List, indicating a high demand for these skills in the labour market.
