How to contact Immigration Canada while I am in Canada?
Before coming to Canada for exchange (University of Waterloo), I received the Mitacs summer research internship offer for the University of Windsor. When asked about visa requirements, they said that they would tell me later.
Thinking that I would need a work permit, I applied for a student visa for my exchange. Now, they say that I do not need a work permit as I can research in Canada for 120 days without the work permit. My study permit has a clause that, "This permit does not authorize the holder to engage into off campus employment in Canada." (Although institution name is not mentioned). I am not sure whether I can freely go and work at University of Windsor or not.
Do I need to tell immigration about this? If so, who do I contact?
I emailed IRCC, got no reply. I called them; a bot cuts me off every time. How and who do I contact that person?
My internship will end on 20th July and my Visa will expire on 30th July.

I was on a student visa in Canada that incorrectly said I wasn't eligible to work. It was a real pain to fix, but I digress.
At one point I did just drive down to the border and walk in. I didn't have to exit Canada and re-enter in order to talk to someone (but as an American, this wouldn't have been a problem for me), there was just a lot on the other side.
They didn't help much, but I forget the details. If the border is close/convenient to you, it might be worth a shot.
