Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

[chris1223954]

I am asking on behalf of a friend. Here is her situation. She has a PGWP that will expire this coming August 17, 2025. The employer is unaware of the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). She asks the employer for LMIA this May. She plans to switch to a visitor record. In the future, can she apply for a Work Permit with a French LMIA - Exempt or a Work Permit with an LMIA After her Visitor Record is approved or during the processing of her Visitor record, while she is in implied status, she plans to take the French at the end of 2025? She is studying French right now. She submitted her Express Entry application, but due to a low score of 399, which was caused by being overage, I suggested that she study French, as this is the only way to obtain a PR. Her occupation is not in demand here in Canada.

As a visitor she can’t apply for a WP from within Canada. It used to be possible but not longer possible.
