Canadian visitors permit extension

So I've submitted an online application via cic to extend my visitors visa about a month ago, paid the fees and everything seemed fine as the guide on the application said that the application must be submitted 30 days before the current visitors visa will expire (as I've did). I'm now at a stage where my visa will expire in about two weeks and there was no update on the site so I've called their phone center (that directs you to information on the site and doesn't redirects you to any representative which makes the entire phone service mute) and it has told me that right now they are processing such applications from 2015 and that the process time is over 130 days.
Can I stay in Canada during the process time or will I have to leave during? What are my options? Please help.

You have implied status until a decision is made in your extension application and can legally remain in Canada.
