Visitor record question

Hi,

I entered Canada last week as a visitor with dual intent and the officer issued me a visitor record which lasts 4 months.

I have a few questions about it:
1. The officer said I MUST leave at the end of the 4 months. But can I apply for an extension in a couple of months and remain in Canada longer than 4 months on maintained status?
2. Now there is the possibility to apply for OWP also for people who applied outland. Similarly to above, am I correct that if I apply for the OWP then I can stay in Canada more than 4 months on implied status until I get the OWP? Reason I am asking is that the officer said I MUST leave by the end of the visitor record.
3. The officer said that this visitor record is subject to the PR sponsorship ongoing and said that if the application gets rejected before the 4 months, I need to leave as soon as it gets rejected. Is it correct?
