I know many folks are worried about immediate future right now with work permits expiring but lets consider the WORST possible scenario. You lose your work permit because it expires and have to return to your country of origin. You had to leave your job here because of it. It CAN NOT get worse than this. Right?
Now look at the data:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/policies-operational-instructions-agreements/ministerial-instructions/express-entry-rounds.html
From July 2022 -> Jan 2023, the CSR cut off has gone DOWN from 550s to 491 and now it came back up to 507 due to no rounds in december. My prediction is that CSR scores will GO DOWN for obvious reasons. They are inviting more folks each round generally. It will eat up high scoring people faster. So long you had 1 year of canadian work experience and canadian credentials, you are very likely to get an invite in coming weeks/months .
Now a person with good command of english, masters from Canada, 1 year of canadian work exp, under 30 will have 501 points. Such a person is very likely to be invited in the next round. This round itself has consumed a good number of 500+ folks.
If you have few issues here (like more than 30 years of age) you should have some foreign work exp to boost your points. If you are having only bachelors from Canada, you are younger and have time on your side to gather more experience and try again.
Last worry is the new profession specific draws. No one knows how it will play out. It will likely be in form of a list of professions. Well, frankly, if your profession is not in such a list given a labour shortage in canada, I think it might be prudent to look elsewhere. If your heart is set on Canada, look for opportunities that allow internal transfer to canada leading to more work experience and more points in Canada. If everything else is failing, and you are still dead set on Canada, start learning french in earnest. Many FSW people did this. This is surefire way to overcome many obstacles. Look at
@mushymush 's thread on doing that. It is possible and has been done many times.
Please remember, I have not even mentioned PNP route here.
