Global Skill Strategy Rules

[N.Jafari]

I am in Canada as a visiting researcher under Global Skill Strategy program which was a work permit exemption type of visa and will be expired in 2 months from now.
I want to get a work permit to continue my research work as a postdoc as I have a one year offer from a university.
Anyone know if there is any possibility for me to get the work permit without leaving Canada.. Because nowadays due to Coronavirus outbreaks it is not safe to leave
Canada.
I would be grateful if anyone can help. Thanks.
