Hello,
I am currently in a maintained status in Canada and waiting for the renewal of my work permit (WP). I am allowed to keep this status till August. If I do not get my WP renewed by this time, I understand I need to stop working here. Do I need to leave the country immediately? Is there any grace period? I will appreciate any information regarding my concern.
Thank you.

You have implied status if you have already applied for your WP extension and can remain in Canada until you get a response about your WP extension even if your current WP expires. If your extension gets refused you are expected to leave as soon as possible but especially within 30 days.
