I am not sure if it has been posted before but I am sure most people can agree to this petition here

So below are our suggestions

1. Let candidates who are in express entry pool and have expiring post graduate work permit be allowed to extend their post graduate work permits.

2. Eliminate LMIA requirement for Candidates on post graduate work permit and award them the 600 points.

3. If LMIA requirement cannot be eliminated then atleast make LMIA process easy and educate employers and promote employers to apply for LMIA. Also increase points awarded for Canadian experience.

hasn't this been addressed for the most part with the changes made by CIC effective Nov/19?

My personal opinion as a PGWP holder is that the above changes have balanced the scale.

They only lowered LMIA points, not increase people's CRS score.

No, they award additional points (15 to 30) for eligible Canadian education (which all PGWP holders have) so CRS scores for PGWP holders did in fact increase
