Hi,
I had my work extension refused and then I was advised to reply to restore my status and was given 90 days so i applied to restore as a visitor. There have been some people that were not given the restoration of status option, I am not sure how this works. Some people are given the 90 days and others are advised to leave. Also restoration of status takes about 3-4 months to be processed, I sent my application in January and I am still waiting and hoping to get something before the end of this month because i am planning to go back to school actually so need it for my study permit.
Hope this helps ! +1 if it does
