Obviously you must stop working when your work permit expires. Then use below process to extend your stay as a visitor, apply at least 30 days before your work permit expires. Once you submit the application you would be on implied visitor status until decision made

You need to apply to change your status to visitor before your work permit expires.

A visa is a stamp in a passport and has nothing to do with status in Canada. You had visitor status and now have worker status. Prior to your worker status expiring, you need to apply to change your status to visitor.
