Expiry of PGWP and Valid TRV

[adeeps]

Hello forum member,

I have PGWP that expires in January 2024. Also, I have V-1 visa which is valid until August 2024.
The PGWP states the Must Leave Canada By <Date in January 2024>

Now, I wonder if I need to visit CBSA or let anyone know in IRCC that I would like to stay in Canada as a visitor.

If you are in Canada, you must change your status to visitor.

I was able to submit an application. The below guide was also helpful.

To help the community with actual processing time, I thought to share that the application was approved in 15 days.
Thanks to all who have helped, including visa officer, for this approval.
