Hi everyone,

I would appreciate some help and suggestions about how I should move one with the issues I m dealing with.

First of all, I moved to Montreal as an international student and I graduated in May 2019.
As soon as I graduated I received the post-graduate work visa (1,5 year) which expires in September 2020 along with my passport.
At this moment I am waiting for the answer regarding my job offer validation.
I work for a company part-time since August 2018 and full time since May 2019.
Am I very late? I am stressed because I read that as soon as the post-graduate work permit expires you can't get an extension and also the thing that makes everything more complicated is that my passport expires, all my documents are linked to it.

Thank you in advance

What do you mean by 'waiting for the answer regarding my job offer validation'? What does this mean? Has your employer applied for an LMIA?

What is VJO?
Here is a part of an article that explains it.

The validated job offer is not to be confused with a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) which is an application for a temporary work permit. The validated job offer application is to increase your points in a permanent residence application through the Quebec Skilled Workers Program.
