I have a flight to change and I don’t know what to do! Thank you for every help you may provide

That is what CIC website reports:
Visitor extension

These applications can be submitted online or by paper.
Online
115 days ?

It seems like a long time for a person who has a flight booked already. Do you think is there and alternative way to extend my tourist visa, like leave and re-enter Canada maybe?

I don't understand your question. Are you referring to a flight out of Canada? If the processing time goes beyond your flight date, then you just leave.

First of all thanks for answering. Yes I am referring to flight out of Canada already booked (I obviously purchased a round trip ticket). As a visa extension applicant, what if I have to leave Canada before the result of my visa extension application?

You have implied status as you have an application in awaiting verdict.
