Can you apply for NS PNP while waiting for PGWP

I have two questions:

1. Do you need to have the post-graduation work permit (PGWP) application approved before you can apply for Nova Scotia PNP under "International Graduates in demand" stream, or
a copy of the acknowledgement of receipt from your PGWP application is enough?
2. I'm slightly confused about the purpose of Temporary Work Permit(Section G on NSNP-200 form). Is this for someone who is not otherwise eligible for PGWP, or only for someone who has a PR application in process and their current open work permit is expiring? Depending on the answer to first, I was wondering if one can apply for this work permit instead of waiting for the PGWP application to conclude.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with these questions.

What is your NOC and you have a job offer? Employer is eligible? school?

1. No.
2. NSNP-200 is not a work permit. 100 is the form employer fills out with job description, wages, etc. Page 26 of guide.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean that NSNP-200 is WP application but was just referring to a section in that which pertains to temporary WP. I doubt you need it if you already have applied for an open WP.
That brings me to another question, is "submission confirmation" of PGWP same as "acknowledgment of receipt"?
