So you have PAL and LOA? You can apply for a new study permit but processed from home country/citizenship. By converted, you mean you applied for a visitor record and it was approved. Your title says "visitor to work permit"

Do you still have valid status? When did you apply for the visitor record? What did your WP refusal say in terms of status? In general unless you have an extremely good reason to go back to school and it is a reputable school and an advanced degree you should plan on returning home and working to qualify for PR or a WP from there. At home you should learn French, consider returning to school to study a field in demand like nursing example, etc.

What EXACTLY is your status now ?
