I know in Canada international students usually apply for a Post Grad work permit (open) after their university confirms they will graduate (university studies completed).
While IRCC processes their open work permit, the student can work full-time on implied status.
You would've have been given a close work permit if your open work permit was about to expired and you didnt apply for PR.
But if this is your 2nd Canadian degree (you already completed a Canadian degree), then it is possible to get a work permit.
I came to Canada as an international student so I know about this
