Hi

My employer applied for a canadian work visa. Can I change my employer after moving to Canada. 
How will I know my visa allows to change employer or not?

Thanks inadvance

You can as long as the new employer gets a work permit for you.

It depends. Sometimes they issue  work permit specifying that you can only work for a designated employer. Also if you have specified term in the contract that does not allow you to leave the job for a certain period of time, breaching this term may cause you some problems with immigration service
