Thank you for tsking the time to read this. So I got temporary lay-off due to isolation and hence Im falling 2 months short on the application for filing under CEC. My work permit is due to expire in 80 days and I dont have LMIA.
So my question is, has anyone ever requested extention of work permit without an LMIA/ NON-LMIA? Like simply requesting extention via a letter?
Any pandemic relief extension that anyone has hint of?
Ps: Ive heard that people used to send letters of extention with SOP. Does that work anymore?

IRCC has announced several exceptions to immigration rules due to COVID-19. However unfortunately this is not one of them so far. If you apply for a work permit extension without an LMIA, then you should expect it will be refused. Including a SOP won't make a difference.
You can see the full list of exceptions to rules here. If there are any others added, they will be posted here.
