Hello,

a lawyer is asking me for 2000 dolare to change me and my partner's status to visitor if my LMIA does not arrive on time, and then 4000 for the work permit.

My question is, is it easy to change the status to visitor? Can I do it myself? Because it seems like a lot of money 2000$.

Many people do it themselves. Ultimately up to you to determine if you are comfortable or not. The detailed instructions you need to follow are on the IRCC website. Read through that information and see if you are comfortable doing it yourself. Good luck.
