PGWP as Venezuelan citizen

[RaulYR]

Hello friends, I have been living in Canada as an international student. I currently have a PGWP that they gave me for 3 years but it expires in July, at this moment my profile does not have the required number of points to apply for Express entry and my current employer does not can support me with an LMIA, as a Venezuelan I understand that they cannot deport me at this time but what can I do to obtain a new work permit?

To the best of my knowledge, removal is still possible but those from Venezuela now qualify for PRRA.

To continue working, your employer will need to get an approved LMIA so that you can switch to a closed work permit - or you'll need to find a new employer willing to do this.
