Visitor status extension whilst waiting for OWP decision

Hi all,

I am filling in my application for visitor status extension and I have a few questions.

1) I have to add additional information on the form IMM5708 (the one titled Application the change conditions, extend my stay or remain in canada as a visitor or temporary resident holder). Since the forms do not have to be printed for the signature, how should I attach the additional information? Since you cannot submit more than one file for the form IMM5708.

2) I am a July inland applicant, so I am still looking at 3-6 months of wait before hearing back from IRCC. Therefore, I would like to extend the status for a year. But my spouse's account balance is around 16k only. Would that be enough? The spouse is working full-time. Or should I shorten my extension period?

Also, before anybody mentions it, I would like to clarify that I am fully aware that I am already in implied status. I just want to have an actual status so that in case of my application being returned I will not have to restore it...

Thank you
