ARC expiring

Seemed like a fairly easy answer to find, but my search didn’t come up with what I was looking for.

My arc will expire at the end of this month, but my school (kindy) has decided to no longer offer me a work permit afterwards. Don’t understand why. I don’t have any other part time work to get another work permit from.

So if I don’t plan on getting another work permit, do I have to leave the country once my arc expires, or can I change over my visa status to student or visitor? I assume the second is out of the question.

Any advice on my situation would be appreciated!

You’ll probably be given 15 days once your ARC has expired. If you want longer, a visa run will be needed.
