You can extend your status as a visitor once your PGWP expires. But just to let you know, if you want to continue working, you have to get a approved LMIA because BOWP is only for applicants who has a valid worker status at the time of submission with AOR from PR application.

Hi

A visitor visa has nothing to do with status in Canada. You need to apply to change your status to visitor prior to your PGWP expiring.

Okay. Because I want to leave and return here in Canada. Because everything will expire at the same time

Yes you can apply for tourist visa within Canada. Depending on CIC, you may get multiple or single entry. Its really up to CIC

I know it depends on them because it doesnt make any sense if i apply here and then i will apply again back home for the visa. I will pay twice. But what do you suggest? By the way do you know how long is the processing for visitor

It takes 14 days online processing and 20 days paper processing. There is no option to let you choose multiple entry instead of single.
