no, no one can switch in country to tier 5 YMS as the rules state that entry clearance is required and there is no provision for leave to remain in this category. You would have to apply from outside the UK.

your solicitor has advised you of the two possible outcomes. He/she is in the best position to advise you of the likely outcome and he/she knows all of the facts of your case. I don't think speculation will help you. Just wait and see what happens.

No.

See Immigration Rules, para 245c(f). To be granted leave to remain under Tier 1 General you must last have been given leave to remain in one of the categories listed in this paragraph.

i think by using your Canadian passport they might think you are trying to be deceptive. Why not use your US passport since US citizens are also non-visa nationals?

there's no 28 day grace period automatic or otherwise. if you visa expires on a certain date you need to leave by that date unless you qualify and apply for leave in another category. You won't be able to re-enter the UK using your Tier 5 visa after it expires. If you are from Canada then as a non-v...

The BRP is not delivered by royal mail post. It is delivered by DX courier. when you get the decision letter there is a number for the people who deliver the BRP's so you can call them to find out when it is likely to be delivered.

It's the biometrics card you will need urgently, as opposed to the passport. The BRPs generally are arriving earlier than the passports at the moment as they are delivered by a secure delivery rather than the royal mail. There's not really much you can do to spead this up. the BRPS are issued by the...
