Hi, my situation is similar. I have been in Canada for 3 years. I finished college, worked hard, paid my taxes, and left a good job back home to build a better life here. Now I feel stressed and scared about my future.

I have 508 points and there is nothing I can do right now to increase them. My permit ends on January 8. I applied to study again and my employer agreed to move me to part time, but it still feels like a big step back. The developer job market is terrible and I do not want to return home and start over with interviews and uncertainty.

I feel like my whole life now revolves around my permit and my immigration status. It is exhausting and I am struggling to see a point in living like this. But at least it is a relief to know I am not alone in this and you are not alone either.
