Apply for a work permit from inside Canada?

[ST123]

I was reading about this a few days ago that in some circumstances you can apply for a work permit from inside Canada, one of those circumstances is if you have a Temporary Resident Permit which is valid for 6 months. Being from the UK I don't require a TRP to stay in Canada for 6 months, can I still apply for a work permit? Or would I have to have the TRP?

1. No. TRPs are only issued to persons who are inadmissible to Canada.

So I couldn't apply for a work permit from inside Canada, all would have to be done before hand?
