I am currently working in Canada with a work permit.
My work permit expires on a certain date, and in the conditions it says "must leave Canada by [expiry date]".
However, I would like to stay as a visitor after I finish working for tourism.
I know I can ask for a visitor record to extend my stay, but I would like to avoid the long process and $100 fee.
The letter of introduction I got from the embassy before arriving in Canada says I have a valid eTA until a date which is much later than my work permit expiry date. Can I stay in Canada based on this eTA?
If not, can I leave the country when my work permit expires, and then immediately get an eTA and come back?
