Yes, if you get an LMO for a skilled job and apply to change your work permit, when your work permit change goes through, you quit your old job and start your new job. After that, you can apply for residency under PNP depending on your province, a skilled worker normally does not have to work 6 months to apply for PNP or you can apply for FSW after you are in Canada one year or you can apply under CEC after being on a skilled work permit for two years.
