you should apply for an extension of your work permit if you can or try to change your status to visitor visa. also, it is better to apply from outland, however, it depends on your country. for some countries, the processing time for outland is longer than if you are applying inland Canada. if you cant change your status or extend your work visa, do not overstay, otherwise it will create a lot of problems.Mercya said:
best of luck!

hi,
If you are going to apply inland, once they received your application you will on "imply" status. Also you can send an application for an extension for the work permit along with the PR application.
This is a cope paste from the e mail I received from CIC.
"You can apply for both an extension of the sponsored person's status as a visitor, student or worker and for their permanent resident status at the same time. If you choose this option, complete both an application to extend their status and an application for permanent residence. Make sure to include both applications, all the supporting documents and the necessary payment in the same envelope."

Hope this would help.

Also this is from CIC.
Sir, Madam,
Thank you for contacting the Call Centre. I am pleased to provide you with the requested information:
If your status is still valid and you want to stay longer in Canada as a visitor:
1. You must send an Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada as a Visitor to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville Alberta , , before your current status expires. The application is available on our Web site.
You can fill out the application on-line and print it or print it and fill it out by hand.
2. You can stay in Canada legally until you receive the decision, even if your current status expires before then.
3. Visit our Web site to see how long it may take to process your application.
