Help ! Applied for visitor visa TRV instead of visitor record

[codezips]

Hi all, pgwp expired on march 2024 and to maintain status inside canada, applied for visitor status TRV instead of visitor record. Didnt knew there was a difference between these two. Got the approval already and passport has been stamped with 10 years visa starting march. What could be done and is it a legal status here or not ? Didnt went out of country to re-enter Canada because thought that this approval gave me a status to maintain inside Canada.

You have been out of status since March and have 90 days to restore to visitor (visitor record).

Thankyou Nat, even though i was a pgwp holder and went out of status(record (im now a visitor status) since mid March, i can still apply to restore my status as a visitor record until mid June to maintain my status inside canada without any consequences?

Don’t know if you can restore status since you cannot restore to worker. You applied for a TRV to enter Canada, not a visitor record to stay in Canada with legal status.
