Everything CIC is extremely slow. So I wouldn't be worried about it
Keep all your receipts, proofs and you are in the green zone. Don't lose any sleep because of this.Post Graduate Work Permit Processing Time (PGWP)
- Thread starter A_Smile
- Start date
Keep all your receipts, proofs and you are in the green zone. Don't lose any sleep because of this.Most probably the study permit extension application will be refused on the ground that you are not enrolled in a study term unless you have written a proper explanation .
If your study permit extension is refused, your PGWP application is likely to be refused on the ground that at the time of your PGWP application in Canada you should have a valid study permit . You are allowed to apply from outside Canada without study permit up to 180 days of passing .
Best case scenario now may be to give an explanation in your study permit extension application through web form and clearly state the future PGWP application and the technical reason for the study permit extension . Do also mention that you were still a student till you passed in Jan and enrollment in future terms was not possible after graduation .
It may not be advisable to withdraw the study permit extension application now as it would leave you without any status at the time of filing PGWP . You could apply without the study permit application if you were outside Canada.
Do search these threads / forum for others in your situation to get a better insight.

Thank you for your reply! I did include LoEs for in both applications. For study permit I explained that I need to apply for PGWP, that my graduation is in February and convocation in June. In PGWP application I said that I applied for study permit and gave reference number of the application. I also paid restoration fee (sent web form with a receipt) for PGWP to be on a safe side in case my study permit will be refused so the officer that processing my PGWP application may restore my status right away (advised by CIC agent)
PGWP:
Applied online: Jan 13
Applied at the border, because employer asked for Work permit on Feb 4, Got approved. I have sent the web form to withdraw the online application. It sent me a email stating that the withdrawn process is being done. However, I can't find any information regarding the approval at the border on Feb 4 on my CIC profile yet. Have any one had the same case? when will the decision at border show up on our cic profile?

Me in same situation .I also applied PGWP on implied status,along with letter of explanation on 05 feb 2020 , and on 06 feb2020 again called IRCC( 25 th time) for study permit extension application and then they are saying your SP extension application is under quality assurance review so the final decision will come in April 2020 ( 9 months I applied for SP extension in 24 septmber 2019) .and agent saying you cannot work full time until decision is not coming on study permit extension but my lawyer is saying you can work full time .
