Post Grad Expired - Looking at LMIA options

Hello,

My post grad work permit expired and though I do qualify under CEC my points are not high enough to get an ITA.

I am still in Canada trying to find a job under my NOC but there doesn’t seem to be any positions under my NOC. If I get an LMIA under a different NOC like say food service supervisor or a different position could I get the 50 points for Express Entry or would it have to only be under the NOC I previously had?

Also I do need to leave Canada if I do secure a position to get an LMiA so if I do get a positive LmIA can I get the 50 points right away or is it when I get the work permit and start working in Canada?

Thanks any input would be appreciated.
