You can apply online in cic website. If you have not received your LMO at this moment, there is a question asking you if you have LMO or not. You can choose the option saying don't have LMO now but it is under process. Once you get your +ve LMO,then you will send them the LMO. You can submit your work permit application without LMO within the 14 days of expiration date.

Hope this helps.

you can apply restoration of status 90 days after ur work permit expires. attach that application and payment with ur application of work permit when you receive ur lmo

I've read sometime ago that if your WP is expiring in a month, you can submit your application for the WP without the LMO. Attach a cover letter that a LMO is already in process. Then call CIC once you received the LMO.

if you question is, if you can apply a day before ur current work permit expires. yes,you can. i did it. just make sure you have the copy of the postal receipt. as long as you send it before the expiration date,it's considered on process. u can stay in cda but can't work unless the new wp get issued

Actually, it's within 2 weeks of WP expiring that you can sent in your application by mail without an approve lmo, I was advised by the call center agent that you can do this process thru mail only and not online. One should include a copy of acknowledgement receipt from Service Canada of the lmo application, once it's approved you need only to call the CIC Call Center to provide the LMO reference number.
