hey guys! I need some help with my current predicament.

I'm applying for my permanent residency at the moment - outland common law application. I am currently on an IEC work visa which expires on March 14th. I want to remain in canada during the process which should take about 9 months which is something I know I can do.

I'm very confused how I can do this. I need to change my status from a worker to a visitor.

can anyone help me with this process please?

is this for a visitor visa or a visitor record? I'm from the uk so I'm exempt.



this process keeps askong me to fill out a form with my work history and to upload an immigration photo with all the specifics?

with this form, can i add more jobs into the job history?
it only allows me to add 3 jobs but wants my 10 year work history?

also, I'm out of the country between march 3 and march 10. should I apply when I get back even though my visa expires on march 14? this would be well after the 30 days but will this be ok? or must it be before 30 days?
