Realistically - only with HRSDC validated job offer.
Or, if going through the inland sponsorship process you can get open work permit after approval in principle - not very good option as AIP usually comes after several months, just before PR status is granted. So, it is often not worth counting on it as processing of WP application in most cases takes longer than issuance of PR status after AIP.
