I don't believe so, otherwise anyone that has lost status would have `Maintained Status' after letting their legal status expire.Thank you for all the reply’s! I have another question.
So since my visitor visa already expired on October 10th, after I apply for another extension this week, will that give me implied status while I am currently still here in Canada and waiting for them to respond?
It took 7 months to hear back from them the first time about my visitor extension.

All temporary residents have an automatically imposed condition that they must leave Canada at the end of their authorized period of stay. However, as per section R181, a temporary resident may apply to extend their period of authorized stay before it ends. If they have done so, their period of authorized stay as a temporary resident is extended by law until a decision is made [R183(5)]. Such a person is considered to have legal status as a temporary resident during the processing period.
You need to apply for Restoration of Status as mentioned by @scylla.
