Hey if you hold a job now, I think you can renew your work permit and work in Canada when your current WP will have been expired later this year.

But if you don't, you can try to apply for and do interviews for jobs out of Quebec - this can serve as one of the pieces of evidence that you are willing to reside outside Quebec. Of course, there are other means of showing this intention, for example changing your address to another province, but getting a job offer out-of-province is always the best solution to your circumstance.

Since you have had your ITA in hand already, you may want to cancel your CSQ application because this contradicts your intention to reside outside Quebec as you apply via EE.

PS. always seek for professional assistance from an immigration attorney who knows the best of the immigration system and laws, because immigration is a serious issue and everyone has different circumstances. TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.

The procedure to renew work permit in quebec without CSQ is very complex,

1) He will need to apply CAQ for Work
2) after CAQ is issued his employer needs to create account with CIC
3) His employer need to post job opening there,
4) Employer will get a job number from CIC
5) Then he can apply for closed work permit,

Note : He might also needs LMIA if his job does not fall into LMIA exempt category.
