Work Permit expiry

[AnkurG]

My work permit is expiring in Nov-26. However, my visitor visa is valid till 2030. Work permit says - Must leave by Nov-26. Am I allowed to stay in Canada for few more months if I stop working or I MUST quit Canada in Nov-26?

You can apply to extend your stay as a visitor before your work permit expires. You can stay until a decision is made with the extension application. You need to stop working once your work permit has expired.
