Ten months left on the post-graduation permit. His score has been under every draw this year, the employer will not start an LMIA, and he has begun learning French because it is the only lever he has left.

A package was put in front of him with forty-eight hours to sign. He cannot tell whether the number is fair, and the permit he holds is tied to the employer who handed it to him.

The test seat he needs is four months out, so he switched to the other exam because the dates exist. Now he cannot tell whether the score he is getting means the same thing. His employer has offered to support an application, but only if it lands before the year ends.
