Hi all,

I have a few questions. My Canadian Temporary work visa will expire in a couple of months but my work permit is valid until 03/2010. I can stay in Canada until 03/2010 even with a expired visa, right? As I understand it, a valid visa is just required for entry into Canada, the legal status within the country is determined by a valid work permit. Also, can I apply for a visa while still living in Canada, by sending the passport and Temporary visa application to a Canadian consulate in US? Thanks in advance.
