TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the possibility of extending their work permit, which expires on the 13th, by a week. Comments clarify that there is no formal 7-day extension available. One reply advises canceling the non-B extension at immigration, while another notes that if the extension application is complete, it could be processed within three days, but incomplete documentation will lead to denial.

If your work permit extension docs are complete, it will be extended within 3 days. They won't accept your docs if it is incomplete, so you will know that it will be extended once they will ask you to pay for the extension fee.

You'll need to make sure you go and cancel your non-B extension at immigration. There is no 7 day extension available.

You can try applying for any extension and if they accept your application (they don't have to accept it) they will give you a 7 day "extension denied" stamp that starts that day.
