You might be able to extend your status - check this link:

Until a decision is made, you would be under "implied status", that is the same as your original status.
btw - are you in Canada with an actual visa, or - since you are from a visa exempt country - are you a temporary visitor without a visa? In the latter case, you are probably admitted for 6months (since the last entry stamp, unless they have indicated a apecific date). If that is the case, you could also try your luck by crossing the border into the US, and hope, that you will get a new stamp upon your return.
