I am a caregiver and my work permit expired in Feb 12, 2018. I applied for an extension in Dec 2017, received a letter of refusal in March 28, 2018 stating that my employer needs to provide a positive LMIA. Now she’s still in the job posting stage and obtaining an LMIA is probably gonna take a long time. From the day I received the refusal letter, I’ve been given 90 days to restore my status.

I am applying for visitor’s visa while waiting for the LMIA. I am trying to answer boxes as safe and accurate as possible, however, one section confuses me right now. In the box “Purpose of visit in Canada” should I put Tourist or Returning Worker or Other – and what to put in the Other?
My employers are my relatives. Is it safe to declare it in the box where I’m asked who’s going to help with my expenses?

I am really hoping you could help me with this. I am running out of time and I’m in desperate need of help.
