Can I apply for Express Entry (FSW) while INSIDE Canada?

Basically the title.

Can I create an Express Entry profile, receive an iTA and then apply for permanent residency while on a Study Permit inside Canada?

Thank you.

Yes you can

Yes you can

Thanks for your response.

If I do receive an iTA and apply for PR, would I be penalized if I withdrew from my study program (after getting PR?) Like would I be accused of "misrepresentation" or something?

I'm not currently in Canada but I'm on the processing of my tour or visitor's visa. I would like to know if it's possible for me to come as a visitor and be able to work as a visitor or do I need additional applications if I migrate to Canada? How possible for me to come to Canada and still apply for work permit?

You can't work in Canada while on a visitor visa. You need either a work permit or be a PR. There are many posts in this forum around it. Here's one on how to become a PR: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/express-entry-step-by-step-instructions.273928/
