Hi there

My Working holiday visa expires in 1 month and I would like to continue my time in Canada on a visitor permit. Do I need to leave and re-enter or can I simply apply this way??

Temporary resident visa: Extending your stay

Anyone been in this situation?

Thanks

I believe you must leave the country, go around the pole hand re-enter as a visitor.

Can anyone else confirm this? There is no where on that site that says I can't apply online. I seem to meet eligibility...

You're not here as a visitor at present, so how can you extend a visitors visa that you don't have.
