Ok I posted a similar question in the PR section but on hindsight it is not very applicable there.

My question is this. I currently have a PR card which expires in July 2015. However, I am currently studying in the US with a graduation date in May 2015. I will not be able to fulfill my residency requirement. However, can I apply for a job with my PR status (because I will apply for a job before/immediately after I graduate when the PR card is still technically good) and then switch to a work permit thereafter? Then somewhere down the road, apply for PR again under Skilled Worker category?
 
If you could complete 730 days obligation you can apply for renewal 137 days before expiry.
