My cousin has been in Canada for almost 1 year on a valid work permit. His work permit is now soon expiring and he wants to have it extended. However, he does not have a new LMIA nor a CAQ for Quebec. What should my cousin do in this situation? Can he apply for an extension right now?

He can apply for extension of his stay in Canada as a visitor instead of worker. He can only apply for extension of work permit if he has a positive LMIA, CAQ if he wants to work in Quebec, he has applied for his any permanent application, he is eligible for applying work permit under international mobility. Another way out is only if he comes under an LMIA exempted candidate which is in case of Intra-company transfers or NAFTA.
Therefore, if he is being delayed in getting a job offer then applying for visitor record is advisable.
