1. No you can't work as a visitor.
2. You can apply for an extension.
3. If you marry, she would have to sponsor you.
4. Unless you can prove ties to Eygpt, job, schooling, home, family the chance of getting a TRV are pretty slim.

Canada doesn't have a "visitor visa" - it has a temporary residence visa (TRV). And Egypt is one of the countries whose citizens are required to obtain a TRV.

As PMM was saying, unless you have strong ties to your country (job, school, house, family), it's unlikely you'll be granted a TRV.

You have a choice of getting married or meeting the definition of common-law partners.

There are also requirements for you and your friend/fiance to meet regarding sponsorship:

Just saying but...

Even if "you arranged to get married", you will have to build a strong application to get your permanent resident ans show that your relationship is strong etc. You'll have to provide lots of documents supporting your claim. Just getting married won't give you any visa right.

This visitor was previously married to someone from London England, when she was with him he tried to get her to Immigrate to London as his wife, she got denied 4 times for reasons like the house was to small he was older then her and really strange non major issues denied her of going there and now they're divorced . Anyways mmy question is will this have an affect on the visitor visa application to canada?? I really hope not
