Hello everyone !!

People often post on a discussion forum if that have a problem. Same problem pulled me to this forum. I am hoping you guys can clearify my problem.

My condition is also related to restoration of status in Canada. My wife and me came to Canada on 2010, My wife as a student and me as a dependent. Once we came here I changed my status to Worker (as a spouse of a student is allowed to work). Recently she completed her Masters degree and applied a "Post Graduate work permit". At the same time I also applied for the work permit extension but got rejected. The rule is I cannot get a work permit unless my wife get a Job in Canada that falls under NOC 0, A or B level. Currently she don't have job.

Now the condition is, my legal status ended on 18th March 2013 (that is few days ago). Now I have to restore my status or else should leave after 90 days.

Now my questions are:
1. Can I restore my status as Visitor? So that I could change it later on when my wife gets job.
2. I tried to apply online but it only shows $200 fee for restoration but do not charge $75 for Visitor application. In such case my application will be rejected if I don't pay $275 in total.
3. Can a work permit holder can restore his / her status to Visitor?
4. If I apply on paper it might take more than 90 days in total. Can I stay in Canada longer that what I am allowed in such case.

Thanks in advance and hoping to get your reply very soon.
