Need Info - Job change 2 months after GC

[testGC]

Hi,
Is it safe to change employer 2 months after I-551 passport stamp?.If so, do one need to notify BCIS?.

Any information regarding this would be greatly helpful for me.

Thanks in advance.

It is risky. BCIS doesn't have to be notified, but they may get to know later, e.g., if the old employer complains, of when you apply for anything else.
The main thing is that in case BCIS ever investigates, you have to show that you had the good faith intent to work for the sponsoring employer "indefinitely." That means that at the time of becoming a PR, you didn't have any thoughts about changing jobs.
Obviously, intent is hard to prove. So the usual way is to work for the sponsoring employer for some time after becoming a PR. Lawyers usually suggest to wait at least 6 months before changing jobs. This is of course a rule of thumb, and individual circumstances may differ.

Hello, I have an important question. This is again close to two months after GC. I have every intention to keep working for sponsoring company except that the things aren't looking good for our group. My question is that if, for any reason, they ask a person to leave (job cuts or layoffs), does he have to notify the BCIS, can he stay in the country without problems? If he/she is asked to leave, is it better to find a job in the same field in other company or a job in the same company in other field. Our company is not hiring new people in software, but it is hiring in a good number of people in hardware and other positions.
