So, my Pwgp expires Oct 30 2024 but I am looking to get admission into a college for winter 2025 as I will apply next week .. my question is , is it okay to apply to extend my stay in order to be able to legally be in Canada Nov and Dec then also apply for student visa?
my concern is that my visitor extension and student visa would overlap. Is that a problem?

You can apply for visitor extension and stop working while you wait for approval. Make sure you show funds and valid reasons to take the course.

No problem with different permits overlapping. My son's visitor record was still valid when he got his approval for SP. Overlapping preferred than falling out of status.

The Canadian immigration status for a PGWP holder is Worker right ? I am confused on whether to choose worker or visitor. Please advise. Thanks
