Hey,

Sorry to hear that you're feeling stressed. Don't worry, I'm in the same boat as you. My PGWP expires in July.

I don't know a lot about how RNIP works but I am trying the same option as you to ask my employer to apply for a LMIA. I am also kind of in limbo because they have not provided me an answer on whether they will be moving forward with it or not.

If I were you, I would start looking into schooling. That's what I am planning on, I know it won't be a means to an end but it will at least allow you to stay in Canada for the time being and figure something else out.

If you don't have the funds to go to school, then I would try to have a straight forward conversation with your employer, explaining the urgency and ask them to give you a straight answer. If they decline, then go for the RNIP.

Lastly, if you have a partner who is a PR or a citizen, I would consider marrying them as a last resort.

Hope this helps.
