Extend PGWP

[Thejesh]

Hello all,

Here's some details of mine:
1. CRS Score: 506
2. Express entry profile meets CEC and STEM program requirements
3. PGWP ends on March 14th, 2024.

Since the draws seems to be unpredictable with the categories, what are my best options to extend my stay for few more months while wait to be invited. I kindly need help/advise on what can be done.

Thank you!

One option is to change your status to visitor. This will allow you to remain in Canada but not work.

The other option is for your employer to get an approved LMIA so that you can switch to a closed work permit.
