You should assume this won't be possible. To change to a work permit you must find an employer who is willing to offer you a job. Next, the employer must obtain an approved LMIA and prove no Canadian could be found for the job. This is usually a 4-6 month process that is quite expensive for the employer with no guarantee of approval at the end. The vast majority of employers aren't willing to go through the LMIA process.
