Waiting for EE PR while permit expires soon

[niko80]

Hi,
I am waiting for my EE PR and have a work permit in Canada what will expire in 1 month. I just applied to extend my work permit. If work permit extension will be refused do I need to leave Canada immediately or I will have some time.
Thanks

What type of work permit do you have.
Have you submitted your PR application

This is researcher WP, LMIA exempt. Yes, my PR application is under processing.

It is a bit confusing, they tell you can stay for 90 days but then tell you must leave:

You can apply to restore your work permit in the first 90 days after it expires. If you do this, you can stay in Canada until you get further instructions, but you must stop working until you receive your restored work permit. There is no guarantee that your application will be approved.

Otherwise, you must leave Canada right away when your work permit expires. If you do not leave, you could be deported and will need permission from an immigration officer to come back.

If you have already submitted your EE application, you can apply for BOWP.
