Can I apply for an open work permit

Hi,
I am based in Montreal, I already have my CSQ and I have submitted my residency application.

My current work permit will expire in October but, with waiting times, it is not likely that my residency application will be processed before then so I want to look to the options for my work permit.

Is it possible, under these circumstances, to apply for an open work permit and if so, what is the best approach?

Also, if that is declined, would it still then be possible to apply for a company specific work permit (effectively an extension of my existing permit) via my current employer?

Yes. You can apply for an extension and continue to work until you hear back from them. Hope this helps!
