From student to SOWP after AOR (not possible?)

Hi, I am currently a co-op student so I have both a study permit and a work permit that expire at the same time (when I google whether my status is a student or worker, it says I am a 'student').

During my studies, I applied for inland PR being sponsored by my husband.
After receiving the AOR, I wanted to apply for SOWP but when I log into GCkey and go through the eligibility questions, if I say my current status is a student, it only gives me option to either apply to extend my co-op or (if I have a job offer) apply for a work permit.
The open work permit option only comes up if I choose visitor or worker as my current status.
Does anyone know how one answers those series of questions to get open work permit application after choosing 'student' as a status, if this is possible?
