Extension of PGWP and other provisions Regarding the resumption of CEC draw, Sean Fraser has not yet told any specific date. Since September 2021, the Express Entry draws for CEC have been paused. This is the reason that the CEC candidates are dealing with the problem of ending of the validity of their work permit. Such candidates have to depend on Post Graduate Work Permit, which cannot be extended. These candidates will also not be able to obtain Bridging Open Work Permit. They have to adopt any of these three options left now:

• Get an LMIA supported work permit
• Quit their job
• Leave the country

No announcement has yet been made for CEC and Federal Skilled Worker Program candidates to prevent the expiry of their status. Looking to Migrate to Canada from Australia?
