Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share my story and any inputs will be immensely valuable. I came to canada with my husband and he had applied under Non express entry PNP in August 2024 , where his nomination was employer restricted and has LMIA exempt closed work permit expiring in 2026 Jan.
We got AOR on Jan 2025 but lay off in Feb. Every consultant suggested to not continue with the application due to employer restriction could cause issues and timeline for non express entry was huge. Our CRS with maximum gets us 485. I’m currently on SOWP recently got a full time job and not eligible for any streams. Since our work permits expire early 2026. We don’t have much time.
We both are trying for sponsored jobs but due to market changes we are impacted and employers are not willing to sponsor.
Any guidance or any advise will be helpful. Been going through a tough time.
Thanks much!
