After student status expires

[GeoCanadian]

Hello everyone. Here is a question I have not seen discussed anywhere on this forum:

I am a doctoral student with a study permit till September of this year. I have also applied for permanent residence through FSW new PhD stream. Come September I will no longer have a student status, my permanent residence application is not likly to be decided before then and I will not have my PhD degree yet (since after completing the three year study I will be still working on my dissertation). Is there any temporary status I can request to hold me over until I either finish my dissertation within 1.5 years or my FSW application is decided? I know about the post-graduate work permit, but that won't apply as I will not have the degree yet.

Any help/suggestion is much appreciated. Thank you.
