Switching to visitor visa after IEC expires
So I think I may have screwed up a bit here.
My first year IEC expires today so my plan was to just switch to a visitor visa and be a tourist while my second year is processing. I thought you could do this online, so I am trying to do it now but it's not letting me fill in the app form, saying that I need to enter an expiry date greater than todays date for my "current status". Is my only option now to go to the border and get a visitor visa? And will I have any trouble doing this if they know I'm waiting for another working visa? |

I have no idea how CIC would treat a restoration of status under Reg 182 as you were a worker and now want to change to visitor Restoration of temporary resident status Without the switch over to visitor status and remaining in the country you are classified as an overstay which could potentially lead to a removal order. |
