OWP or Visitors permit while I wait inland?

I'm applying inland from Quebec for Common-law PR, and am about to send the application off. However my Post Graduate work permit expires at the end of July. Because it takes at least 6 months to get approved for OWP, i was wondering what i should do? The agents at CIC weren't that helpful with this.

Should I apply for a visitors permit and send off my Open Work Permit application with my PR application. If so , how do i apply for an OWP?

OR should I just apply for the "Application to Remain in Canada as a Temporary Resident Permit Holder"?

I won't risk being here illegally so worst case I apply for visitor and wait.

Thanks.
