Help! I applied to the HSW Pilot in November 2021. Since then, I have only received the PAOR. I applied through an agency, and in every meeting, they told me, 'We are going to request an update with our attorney,' but nothing happened. Tired of waiting, I filled out a form to inquire about my process, and to my surprise, Immigration sent a letter at the end of 2022 with information they didn't provide me earlier. Today, I sent the agency the information that Immigration provided, and their response was, 'Your application was rejected' due to the new regulations stating that employers cannot be businesses or companies. I don't have that letter because they haven't sent it to me, and I'm not sure if the regulations informed in July 2023 apply to my process submitted in 2021.
Could someone confirm if this law has retroactivity, if it applies to me considering that it came out years after I applied? I have been searching on the website, and I can't find anything confirming that the new regulation applies to me. Thank you very much.

I don’t know, I still have not received anything and IRCC just says it’s still in review. At 30 months now and still nothing.

Not in Canada. I am overseas and still with the same employer. The employer has been very patient.
