If you overstay, you are required to leave the country to apply. Just because they filed some paperwork doesn't change that.
This is untrue. My wife overstayed her visa by a couple months by the time we applied for permanent residency. She was advised by a lawyer and immigration services themselves NOT to leave the country because her most recent entry was done legally and without the intent to stay for ever (student visa).
