Workers with expired post-graduation work permits say they've been left in limbo waiting for an extension program promised months ago.
@DilshadBurman with more on their precarious situation and their plea to the government.

Will the #PGWP extension forgive/cure unauthorized work? #PGWP have fallen out of status, & cont. to fall out of status on a daily basis, they need to work to survive, will this unauthorized work be forgiven @CitImmCanada@SeanFraserMP ? They are relying on your promise of an ext
I can understand if @CitImmCanada@SeanFraserMP are having a hard time putting the tech in place for the #PGWP extension, but at a minimum they should communicate #ASAP what the policy will entail so that #PGWP and their #Employers can plan for the future - #cndimm
Let's hope this "shortly" really means shortly....
Not sure how much #IRCC really cares, but this delay has played a havoc with the mental well being of countless individuals and their families...
@TheWillTruth That's because think like someone with empathy. Not sure if the policy drivers do. Been forcibly unemployed for 3 months now. My employer is tired of stories everyday. Financially and mentally depressed.
Confirmed by IRCC in a panel I'm on: PGWP extension still being fine-tuned. There'll be instructions online shortly + on portal.
Seems like a lot of back-end tech work likely. They'll likely need to build automations to deal with the volume of likely applicants.

@Baljinder2008@betsy_kane@CitImmCanada@SeanFraserMP You must be on something stronger than marijuana to think that incompetent @SeanFraserMP should not take the blame for the mess that he created. What’s the essence of pausing draws to clear a backlog of 1.7m only to see it increase to 2.7m?
@SeanFraserMP Minister, you have to speak to us at least. Tell us if this #PGWPExtension#Portal will be a reality or it has been abandoned. We need some answers from you to plan our lives please.
@SeanFraserMP Justice delayed is justice denied. Days into weeks into months yet no reprieve for #PGWPextension in terms of the portal. EVERY DAY hundreds of workers are going out of status because you did not give us an alternate path while the portal is supposedly being launched. Shameful!
@TTRRMK@CitImmCanada@SeanFraserMP Thank u for being our voice! Feels like we are stuck in ‘no man’s land’ unable 2 leave/unable 2 work. Running on fumes with savings, battling mental health, all because we believed Canada 2 have our backs. The minister shld be ashamed. Show us half the sympathy u show 4 refugees.
Every day that @CitImmCanada@SeanFraserMP fails to release the new temporary #PGWP extension guidelines results in increases to the #IRCC backlog with VR exts & baseless WP applications & FWs who cant legally work & Employers without labour - Please #Communicate ASAP
@TTRRMK@CitImmCanada@SeanFraserMP To be frank whenever I hear people talking about Canadian immigration I just laugh. Fraser has relegated the system and I am sure it’s on purpose.
