Work permits are usually issued for 1–3 years, depending on your job offer. They can often be renewed if your employer extends your contract.
Yes, but you will need to apply for a new work permit tied to your new employer.
The process — from job offer to receiving your work permit — can take up to 1 year, depending on whether you apply under Francophone Mobility or LMIA, your profile, employer response time, and visa processing times.
