Can a F1 visa(expired) applicant apply for Canada visa from USA? [closed]

My F-1 student visa is already expired this year(June, 2018) and I am currently working on my OPT's STEM Extension work authorization, which expires by May 2019. My current employer has sponsored my H-1B visa for the year 2019 and it was picked in the lottery process and recently I have received the "Request for Additional Evidence".

The point here is, I am not sure whether I would get the H-1B approval or not, so thinking to have a Plan-B to stay in the USA or at least go to Canada to work for like 5 years before going back to my Home country.

What is the procedure for me(considering my current situation) to get a Canadian visa(working)? Can I apply it from here(USA) without travelling back to my Home country? Required documentation would be really helpful. Are there any other viable options for me to stay in USA legally and continue my work without pursuing another degree/marrying some citizen?

Note: I do have one more opportunity to get sponsored for H-1B for next year, but considering my OPT STEM expires by May 1st week, that is like trying to hit a fast moving Plane(at cruising altitudes) from the top of the Burj Khalifa.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Can I travel to Canada if my f1 visa is expired?

Note: You may travel to Canada and return to the US with an expired F-1 student visa or as long as your travel is limited to Canada and you return within 30 days. If you plan to travel in Canada only and for less than 30 days, do NOT surrender your I-94 card before entering Canada.

Can I go to Canada if I overstayed my US visa?

If you have overstayed your nonimmigrant visa by less than 180 days, you are eligible to return to Canada to apply for another visa, but you are ineligible to return to the United States on your expired nonimimigrant visa.

Can I travel to Canada if my student visa expires in 1 month?

Yes you can. A valid visa inside an expired document is considered valid. Make sure you have both your old passport with the valid visa and your new passport with you when travelling to Canada.

Can I stay in the US after my f1 visa expires?

You can stay in the United States on an expired F-1 visa as long as you maintain your student status. However, if you are returning home or traveling to a country where automatic revalidation does not apply, you must have a valid visa to return to the United States.

What happens if my visa expires before I graduate, while I'm still in the US?
