Currently under Implied Status and soon will receive an ITA for Express Entry

Hi,

I have a couple of questions if anyone can help.

I'm currently under implied status (applied through paper for Work permit extension on early November). Probably will get rejected (as I do not have LMIA valid job offer), but I only applied to buy some time basically three months until i receive an ITA. My express entry CRS score is 461. I'm hoping to get an invitation within next few draws. Below are the questions I have:

1. In Express entry profile, what should i answer to "Do I have a valid work permit?" Yes or no?

2. Lets say I do get an invitation by this month end. How can I update my work permit extension application which I applied through paper? THis way I can notify the them that I have applied for permanent residence and I need an extension. That way i can get a valid bridge work permit. Otherwise after I get an invitation, and once I get rejected of work permit extension, I won't be able to legally work in canada or would not even be able to stay in Canada. Not sure what can I do here.

3. Is there any other way I can receive some sort of work permit right after I get an ITA considering I have already applied through Paper and I'm under implied status? Please help

4. Does CIC check if my credit history is good? I have about 12000 dollars of credit card debt and I don't know if that makes much of a difference when I apply for Permanent residence.
