Hey guys, I hope someone can give me some advice.
I have worked in Vancouver for the last 12 months on a UK working holiday visa. This expired on Aug 6th 2013. Shortly before, I applied online to change my status to a visitor, as I had saved enough to support myself up until October. I requested an extension upto October. However, due to the strikes at the visa processing offices, I have yet to hear back on the status of my request.
The problem I have, is that I need to go back to England soon as my funds are running out, but if I leave Canada, will that void my application to change to a visitor? I'm sure in the notes it stated that I can't leave whilst it is being processed. I don't want to leave now and wind up with an over stay of visa mark on me. I also want to apply for college in Canada in January, and I need to submit my application this month.
Any help in what I can do would be really appreciated.
Thanks
