Hi Everyone

My work Visa is nearly up next month and I was wondering how I can change my status to a visitor? Can this be done online? If so where? Are there any fees to pay? Does anyone know how long it takes?

I got told I could go to the the USA and then comeback in, however I am planning to travel alittle after my visa expires and my sister is also visiting me so I have not yet booked a ticket back.

Can anyone offer any advice?

1. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/extend/visa.asp
2. $75.00
3. I assume you are visitor visa exempt for Canada.
4. Processing time: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp.asp
