You are now out of status, so it's too late to apply for the open work permit pilot under spousal sponsorship.
You should have renewed your passport before you submitted your application. By the time CIC was ready to issue your OWP, your passport was no longer valid and so they couldn't issue the OWP.
You will have to wait until your sponsorship application has first stage approval before you will be able to apply for an open work permit. Right now this is taking 16 monthst to complete from the time your application was received. So if you submitted your application in April of this year, it will be at least September 2016 before you qualify for an open work permit.

A question on this topic, are you able to renew your passport after an application is submitted? to avoid being capped to the expiration date of the passport? in this case I am sending off my application and my passport expires October 2016. I don't have time to renew it before my application. or would I just have to renew my open work permit close to October 2016?
