There are a lot more painful stories here e.g. seen families that struggled to unite because of delays. The positive thing is - the state(however bad it really is) you are in is a dream for so many others. I'm referring to the fact that you have an ITA and R10 pass. I talked to hundreds of int'l students on their PGWP last year - oh, what wouldn't they do just to be in your place!Still not like us bro… lost 2 jobs…. used all means to work using work permit extension and at last sitting idle on visitor record from last 5 months…. In Terrible situation coz of these delays earlier draw were the issues now the delay of ircc processing..
It might look bad, but things will be over before you even know it. If you want to make things easy for yourself and go back to your home country and wait things out with ease. Unless there are circumstances forcing you to stay in Canada, not worth waiting here when you don't have work authorization. A lot of folks end up working cash jobs when this happens(risking their application). Do what makes your life easier.
