My Post Graduate Work Permit expires soon, I can't apply for an extension, so I am applying for a visitor visa while I wait for an ITA. Can I keep working in my current job under Implied Status?

No. You have to stop working as soon as your PGWP expires.

Ok. Thank you for your help.
Is there any way to get an open work permit in my situation?

Based on the information you have provided, no.

Do you have a spouse or common law partner who is Canadian? Do you have a spouse or common law partner who is in Canada on a study permit or work permit in a NOC A, B or 0 job? Have you obtained a PNP nomination?

My partner is Canadian and we live together but it hasn't been a year yet for the common law.

When will you reach a year of living together continuously? Will this be before your PGWP expires?

That would be February 2021 and my wp expires tomorrow. I am submitting an application to extend my stay as a visitor in the meantime. Do you think this is ok?

Yes, you need to submit the application today to change your status to visitor.

Unfortunately I don't see any options for you to apply for an open work permit.

You'll need to stop working once your PGWP expires tomorrow.

Okay, I understand. Thank you very much for your advice. It is invaluable. I was given the wrong information by an immigration lawyer.
