I am looking for legal assistance with restoring my status as a worker in Canada and reviewing my Express Entry PR application.

I came to Canada in 2021 to complete my Master’s in Project Management. I completed my studies in 2023 and received a 3-year PGWP on August 2, 2023, which was valid until August 1, 2026.
I applied for a work permit extension on July 22, 2026, before my PGWP expired. Unfortunately, the application was refused on September 16, 2026. I stopped working immediately after receiving the refusal and I am currently out of status.

In addition, I received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Express Entry on October 1, 2026, under a CEC/Skilled Trades draw. My understanding is that I have 60 days to submit my PR application, with the deadline being November 30, 2026.

How were you eligible for a PGWP extension ?
Why do people leave out the most important thing ?
Or was it a fake extension ?
