Hi

I applied for PR (Skilled Worker) from within Canada and working on an open Post graduation work permit.
If I dont get my PR and my PG work permit expires what do I need to do? As I am working right in my field with highly paid job.
As far as I know PG work permit can not be extended, and to legally stay in Canada and keep working for Canadian employer do I have to have regular Work Permit with HRDC Labour market opinion?

I would really appreciate if some body can advise me on this, as this issue is bleeding me dry.

The PGWP cannot be extended. However, your employer need not advertise your position in order to receive an Labour Market Opinion to extend the work permit. Ask your employer to apply for the LMO, and, once you receive a positive LMO, you can apply for a work permit.
