Hello All,
I wanted to share my testimony here, to give God all the glory for helping me in my journey and to encourage others to trust God and commit their ways into his hands. This is a long write-up, please be patient, I hope someone will read this and be encouraged.
I came to Canada as a student. I studied a one-year program, which meant I would be getting a one-year pgwp. However, when it was time for me to get my pgwp, i was granted 9 months of pgwp. This was during the time IRCC put a stop to pgwp extension without warning. I took a leap of faith and applied for a pgwp extension based on passport expiry hoping to get the remaining months and see if I could get the opportunity to at least apply for PR.
I didn't get any response from IRCC for a long time. I was living in fear and was worried about my work permit because time had elapsed and I was no longer eligible for an extension due to passport expiry. To the glory of God, I was able to apply for a different kind of work permit. This was the hand of God. Shortly after I applied for a new permit, the pgwp extension came in refused, and I wasn't given the option to restore on the letter. I had to stop working immediately, which led to a lot of anxiety, and stress. For months, I waited, not knowing the outcome. I prayed and asked God to please help me because I felt there was just no hope due to the complications in my case. My only hope was in God, I held on to his word. He kept me and provided for my needs through it all.
To the glory of God, my new work permit was approved. God did it. To everyone currently confused and depressed due to their work permit issues, please ask God to help you. He listens; he's our ever-present help in our time of need. Psalm 46:1. To everyone waiting for a decision, I wish you all the best, and may God come through for you all in Jesus name Amen.
