Asking for someone. Her study permit expired april 2019. She found a company thats willing to give her a LMIA, Does her permit have to be valid to get LMIA approved in Canada, or she must leave Canada first ?

She needs to leave Canada. Way too late to restore her status from within Canada and she can't apply for a work permit while in Canada illegally. She should return to her home country and remain there for 6-8 months before trying to apply for a work permit. The fact she has been in Canada this long without status may cause problems.
