With many Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWPs) and other work permits set to expire in 2025, international graduates and temporary workers need actionable solutions to maintain legal status in Canada. Here are six legitimate pathways to consider: 1. Secure a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)-Backed Work Permit Why It Works: Challenges: Best For: Those with employer support or in high-demand occupations (healthcare, trades, tech). 2. Apply for a Visitor Record (Status Maintenance) Why It Works: Limitations: Best For: Those close to an Express Entry draw or awaiting PR processing. 3. Switch to a Study Permit (Strategic Education Route) Why It Works: Key Considerations: Best For: Graduates needing more time to qualify for PR or gain additional skills. 4. Leverage Spousal/Common-Law Sponsorship Why It Works: Requirements: Best For: Those in long-term relationships with eligible partners. 5. Return Home & Improve CRS Points (Express Entry Strategy) Why It Works: How It Helps: Best For: Those who can’t secure LMIA/study permits but want to return stronger. 6. Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – Employer-Driven Streams Why It Works: Key Requirements: Best For: Those willing to relocate outside major cities (Toronto/Vancouver). Critical Reminder: Avoid Being Out of Status! Next Steps ✔ Consult an RCIC for personalized advice. ✔ Act fast—delays can limit options. Canada still offers pathways to stay, but proactive planning is essential. Choose the best option based on your situation and work toward PR strategically.
