I was a foreign worker with a 3 year work permit which was expired in Aug 7th. This work permit is a postgraduate work permit which I got after I graduated from a Canadian College. Before my work permit expired on July 26th, I have applied for a status change from worker to visitor. However today I received a refuse letter which I have posted below. Basically they refuse me because I put the reason as study for 6 months in UOT. And it was not acceptable because my status expiry date are less than 6 months, then it requires a study permit. Now I just want to get a visitor status so I can wait for my PR results (CIC says estimated date is April 2020). I am so terrified now, is there someone who can provide some advice for me? Thank you so much
