Work after graduating

My University gave me a "wrong" estimate of my graduation date, thus leading to my permit to expire in a month.
My problem is that I don't know if I have enough time to get my student visa (same date as my SIM expiring date), work permit and visa before August.


My questions are:
1)Can I work with an expired SIM?
2)When I get my new study permit and then apply to renew my SIM, am I eligible to work?
3)Can I work before getting my work permit?

My overall concern is that CIC takes about 5 weeks to process each of the documents and I don't know if I am allowed to start working right after graduating from my University.
