My wife in Canada has lodged sponsorship papers for me (outside of Canada). I have several government employers in Canada interested in offering me work but are not able to get HRDC approval. Additionally another non-government employer is interested in pursuing HRDC approval.

My question is - can I get an EA while my PR application is being processed?

Yes, you may apply for an employment authorization while a permanent resident
application is pending. Doing so will not harm your application for permanent
resident status. However, your application for temporary status may be affected
because an impression will have been created that you do not intend to leave Canada
upon the expiration of your temporary status.

It is more likely that your immigration visa would be processed more quickly than any
EA since you are outside of Canada. Jim Humphries
