Hi!
I have a bit of an issue with my professional life. I hope someone can direct me into taking the right decision. I have an extended work RP (4 years) for a specific field written “Maarakennus ja vesirakentaminen”. It means I can only work in my current field. But the problem is every winter because of weather conditions I get laid off for almost 5 months and that’s too much for me. Even though I get union money, I would like to work like everyone the whole year. One month vacation is enough for me. So in order to break that cycle I went to school to learn laatoitus (tiling ). But can’t work in laatoitus until I apply for a new RP because it is considered a new field. In order to apply I need a new contract from a laatoitus company but I am not sure companies will sign me a contract knowing they have to wait at least 3 months before I start working ( migri says I can’t work until the permit is granted). I contacted TE office and migri both said the same. I have two questions:
1. can I get a contract from laatoitus company knowing they will wait for my application for the new RP to be granted?
2. if I do get a contract an apply for the RP, is the process going to start over by me receiving 1 year RP again or is it going to be extended with the remaining years that I have ?

Re: Changing Jobs and RP
1. No. You need to show them the permit before you can apply the position. They can't write you a contract when you have no permit to work.
2. Not applicable because #1.
2. Not applicable because #1.

1. Incorrect. A contract can be written but work can't start without the permit.37yqp8098y5 wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 12:09 pm1. No. You need to show them the permit before you can apply the position. They can't write you a contract when you have no permit to work.

And 2 depends on their evaluation? There are no rules on how long they'd grant you.
