Hi
What papers? You need to have a plan. It's not easy to get a work permit right now and it doesn't necessarily happen fast. You can apply for a visit visa extension if you have money to support yourself. If you overstay, you take a chance that you might be deported and banned. It would be better if you try to find some immigration program that you qualify for.
Methinks the OP is talking about claiming refugee status, when his/her visitor status runs out.
