extending your work permit without a specific job offer

[Innervision]

Hello there!!!!
could somebody be kind enough to help find out answers to the questions below?
I am currently enrolled in a Business Internship Program with one of language schools in Vancouver. My internship is scheduled to finish on 22 October, my work permit expires the same time and says that I must leave the country by that time. The company I am interning are not inclined to hire me permanently or extend my stay, so they can not take care of the extension process/ Can I extend my work permit myself without having a specific job offer, as my work permit says "any employer, any field"?
If not, I have a study permit that is valid till December, can I stay legally in Canada under this status or I need to get enrolled into some educational program (my current education program finishes on October 22)
Many thanks in advance!!!

No, you need an employer and and a new work permit to work, you can remain on your study permit until it expires without studying.
