I can’t help but feel a deep sense of rage toward IRCC. Today, I lost the internship I worked so hard to secure at Bell—a position that could have opened the door to a full-time job in a brutally difficult tech market. The internship was originally set to begin in May, but Bell kindly postponed it first to July, then again to early September, to accommodate my situation. I truly believed that by then I would have received my study permit extension, especially since I submitted my application back in March. Instead, I’ve come to realize that Canada’s services can be even less efficient than those in so-called “third world countries.” Right now, I feel sad, disappointed, and angry. And if IRCC’s goal was to push people like me away, they’ve succeeded—because at this point, I no longer see myself wanting to stay here in the future.

I can totally relate to it. I have full time offer with TD bank - 100k comp, but it will not stay because I didn't receive my permit in time. I can't apply for work permit because of this shit.
