1) Original Purpose for Coming To Canada (work/study/visit/family visit/other)

2) Have you ever remained beyond the validity of your status, attended school without authorization or worked without authorization in Canada? (As my visa expired on nov 30th 2018, I stopped working), what should I answer to these???

Please suggest and thanks in advance...

1) You haven't provided enough information for us to answer this question. If you originally came to Canada on the SOWP, then you would say to work.
2) The answer is yes since you have remained in Canada beyond the validity of your work permit.

I did't get you, where should I select 'Other' ???
Question 7: What is your current immigration status in Canada?

You need to select 'Other' because you are currently out-of-status + none of the other selections apply to you presently

Guess those selections are on the 'Come to Canada' tool. Anyway

For Form IMM5708E, you must select 'Restore status as a visitor' + Original purpose of coming to Canada: Work

You need to answer 'Yes' to this question (you are out-of-status + you have remained beyond the validity of your worker status) + you must provide details.

The box for this section seems adequate to provide a small explanation/details

In that case, you must answer 'Yes' to all three questions in that section.

You can include a LOE, but I suggest you also fill the box in that section in this way:
Question 2a: Yes, currently out-of-status. SOWP was valid until XX date

Question 2b: Yes. Had a previous refusal for a study permit. Applied on XX date. Refusal letter XXXXXXX

Question 2c: Yes, previously applied to enter Canada
