My OPEN work permit is yet to expire on Aug 10 2019. I have applied for PR and waiting for my ITA, I have 458 points in total. Is there anything I can do to extend my stay?

What kind of open work permit do you hold?

Most likely, your options are to either switch to a closed work permit if you have found an employer who has offered you a job and also has an approved LMIA. Alternatively, you would need to apply to change your status to visitor. This would allow you to remain in Canada after the expiry of your work permit - but you'd have to stop working as soon as your open work permit expires.
