An individual is seeking advice regarding their upcoming expiration date on their tourist visa while waiting for their Educational (ED) visa. They mention their passport is stamped until July 6 and express concern over potential restrictions on border runs due to a prior tourist visa refusal. Comments from the community suggest options such as doing a 'border bounce' if they haven't exceeded entry limits, or seeking a temporary extension at an immigration office.

as long as you don't have TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land so far this year you can border-bounce and get a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp.
