Have you applied for PR through an economic immigration stream and has your application been accepted as complete by IRCC?

Based on the information you have provided so far, you don't qualify for an open work permit. If you want to work for someone else, your new employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA and you need to get a new closed work permit.
