What are the complications of travelling to Canada 2-3 weeks before PGWP expiry?

Not really, I had enough time on my permit.

Without getting too specific (due to privacy concerns), my rights were violated by a company. And if I was put through a fair process, I would probably would have been eligible for CEC.

I'm just having a hard time understanding what is the basis on which PR is granted in H&C. I've learnt that the danger-to-life scenario is only meant for asyulm seekers.

So how do they decide whether to grant PR in H&C? Is it granted in situations where the applicant has a dependency relationship to Canada (Eg: They have a child in Canada, or there is a specific healthcare service they need which is only available in Canada)? I don't have any such dependency. My argument is more along the lines of "Having worked hard to build a life here and being put through an unfair process".
I think you would be best off hiring an immigration lawyer to assist you in putting a strong application together. Good luck.

This is not my exact situation, it was just a relatable example. Yeah 1 year of work is never guaranteed, but can you make the argument that you were put through unfair circumstances and had your rights violated? I thought H&C stream is for unique situations like that.

One opposing argument that I hear is "What if a company shuts down before someone finishes 1 year of work. They can't be eligible". But in that case, the worker's rights were not violated.
If your rights were violated did you contact the province and a labour lawyer? That is really not an immigration issue but a potential labour law violation. If there is proof of labour law violations then you can apply for a vulnerable open work permit. There are many temporary residents who wanted to and planned to settle in Canada but that doesn’t mean they will be able to. Agree you need to consult with some immigration lawyers. If anyone tells you approval will be easy and guaranteed and charges you a huge fee get another lawyer.
