Once you apply for PR with your CSQ you can get a bridging open work permit if your current work permit is less than four months from expiring.

thanks for the reply but the option you mentioned is for all Canada except Quebec, which is the province that i m in right now so it is now an option for someone who lives in Quebec

You're right that you can't get a BOWP with just a CSQ, but once you apply for PR on paper you may be able to. However you should also be prepared to change your status to visitor if you can't get a new work permit in time.
