Sean Fraser, the minister of immigration, recently unveiled a new temporary policy that will allow recent international graduates in Canada with expiring temporary status the chance to stay longer so they can continue to gain work experience and improve their chances of being accepted for Canada permanent residency.

As per the IRCC, "We are investigating a smoothed out, facilitated process for this, and particulars will be made accessible in the weeks to come."
