Pre-Assessed..
You are mixing 2 different things.

Applying for your PR under EE has nothing to do with your current status now in Canada (Work Permit, Visitor Status, Visa ...).

To stay legal in Canada, you should have a status like a valid work permit, a visitor status, a tourist visa ... that is not yet expired.

On the other hand, applying under Entry EXpress wont' allow you to stay in Canada if your status (what I mentioned earlier) is expired.

Best things to do, applying for a new status (WP, Visitor status ...) and also apply for your PR under EE, if it got accepted at a certain stage, you can apply for a bridging visa (you do not need any LMIA, in this case).

Good luck,
Best,
A.
