    Hey Steve, i'm in a similar situation. Thanks a lot for spending your time in helping us, this really makes a difference and shows how amazing people in Cada are.
    My pgwp expires on feb 24, i was lucky enough to find a job in a big bank but now I fear they will let me go for this. Let's hope for the best.
    Thanks again.

    Thanks Steve for raising the issue from our side. We as an international student Took educational loans, sincerely study during the college. Passionately and dedicatedly working in our fields. Supporting family in back home and paying the high taxes to the government.still we are not being considered that's feel very bad. We have sacrificed a lot in means of money time and energy. I missed the first TR to PR pathway hoping for the second one but it didn't came and this yr Crs score are way higher. Govt should give inland applicants first priority because we r also the part of economy n contributing in development of the nation. Lastly, I hope motion44 and Bill c19 will bring something for us and implemented soon.

However, I am not looking to extend it and they do not have any empathy, IRCC officers work like robots...They have a law that they have to follow. The law says they cannot expend the PGWP, so whatever will happen they will not expend it.
      By doing what you described you can just buy time. Be under maintained status from the time you applied until you get rejected.
      We should not look for extending our PGWP, we should focus on getting PR because delaying the problem would make it bigger.

    Thank you so much for raising this issue and being an advocate for us. We appreciate your voice and dedication.
    My CRS is 483 and PGWP already expired on January 27th, 2023. It's truly a moment of uncertainty, anxiety, and depression. I was sad to realize I wasn't eligible for the 18months PGWP extension just because my work permit expired 27 days into 2023. Words can fully express what we're going through.

We need to keep writing letters, positing on social media, holding this government to account for its promises. There’s only so much opposition can do, and we can look at the fact Sean Fraser took until the last day to finally extend the Hong Kong policy.
      Make your voice heard. Speak up. Speak to Canadians and newcomers alike. This government has broken our once proud and competent immigration system.

      Hi Ramanpreet. For BOWP you need to be on worker status, maintained status counts as well. I’d recommend applying for a closed work permit with your employer before your PGWP expires. It will take 4 months to process anyways. You can do this even without the approved LMIA but proof of submission of the LMIA application.
