Visitor visa application while application for restoration is in process

[Deepthijogi]

Hi,
As part of attempt to restore my status in Canada,I did apply for an LMIA .However,I believe my chances are very slim. LMIA application is still in process.
Could anyone please help me in finding out while my application for LMIA(to restore my status) is in process, will I be able to apply for visitor visa? This will probably help me in extending my stay in Canada for some time without having to leave the country(if my LMIA is refused). Will having to apply for visitor visa while my LMIA is in process be inappropriate? I am trying to have visitor visa as back up without need to leave the country if I happened to get a refusal for restoration of status through LMIA.

Thanks!!
