OWP Pilot ending in July 2020?

[Joeydocs]

Hello all. I was reading IRCC news and read that the open work permit pilot will expire in July 2020. If applicants apply before then will their applications still be processed if it expires in July? I also read it’s Been extended 4 times. What are the chances of the government extending the pilot again?

In normal times, I would've said that it would most likely be extended again, but covid19 saw a lot of Canadians lose their jobs, which might affect the chances of the OWP program being extended. Nobody really knows for sure until they make an official announcement about it.
