Urgent: Temorary residence extension

Dear All:

I have married recently. My wife is a Canadian. I have been staying in Canada on study permit that will expire on May 31, 2008. I have already applied for study permit extension for my further eduction almost 20 days ago. However, I am yet to receive any notification. Based on the recent situation, I am worried about my staying in Canada. Since we are recently married, both of us want to stay together.

I am currently an international student in Canada. I have also applied for "open work permit" about a week ago, since I have completed more than two years full study in Canada.

Based on the recent situation, it would be really helpful if I could get some answers on the following questions.

1. If both my application is refused, what should I do to live in Canada after May 31, 2008? I was looking online for temporary residence extension based on change of situation. However, it would take more than one month and I don't have that much time left.

2. Should I apply for a visitor visa now based on my situation, life going to Niagara falls and making a U-turn? However, I don't know that much about this.

Thanks a lot,
Mohammad
