A: Yes. If a foreign national applies to extend their stay as a visitor under R181 before their work permit expires, their authorized stay in Canada continues by operation of law under R183(5) until a decision is made. However, once the work permit expires, they are no longer authorized to work, even though they may legally remain in Canada while awaiting the visitor decision.
