Hi, I studied at college for 1 year and I got my work permit for 1 year.
My visa expires on 20 September. I want to apply for a visitor visa next week. Can I wait for their decision about my visa inside Canada legally after my current visa will expire?

Thank you for attention.

Yes, you can remain in Canada while you wait on the visitor app to be processed.

I'm a bit confused.
imm5708e asks me to select:
- extend my status as a visitor
- restore my status as a visitor
- get a new temporary resident permit (for inadmissible applicants only)

Is it the correct form for me? Should I select "extend my status as a visitor"?
