March 18th...when is your last day to apply to PGWP? Actually I have other question... you have 180 days to apply to PGWP, however, your study visa expires after 90 days that day you get your certificate/ oficial letter ... if I decide to wait for my study permit , these 90 days will expire as well ... it is a little confuse ...
Applying for PGWP under implied status as student.

Dont wait.
Once you get your certificates apply immediately.
That's what my immigration consultant said me.

Hi there, I was scrolling for answers and I found yours helpful. I am on the same situation above, I am on implied status and still waiting for my student permit extension, however, I haven’t received a decision from cic. I submitted my application November 27,2019. Did you submitted your PGWP application already using your old study permit.? How was it? My program will end on the 30th of April. Still my study permit extension is under process.

I think they updated this because of the COVID and lack of workforce maybe. FYI, my processing times are already past 120 days for student permit extension. Anyway, thank you so much for your help. Godbless!
Yes, you can..
Applicants may apply for a PGWP from within Canada if
- their study permit is still valid
- they have a valid visitor record because they changed their status to visitor status before their study permit expired, while waiting for their notice of graduation from their institution, or simply to remain in Canada. However, they would not be eligible to work while waiting for a decision on their PGWP application as per paragraph R186(w)
- they are on implied status, meaning they submitted an application to extend or change their status to visitor or student before the expiry date of their study permit and no decision has been made

You cannot make that assumption though. While you can apply for PGWP with implied status, the new update does not state whether or not you can work. So, the safe thing to do is to not work while you wait.
There is NO official update on work eligibility for application made with implied status, and if you read just a little further down on the link you posted, you'd see the caveat that says you can only work full time if your study permit was valid at the time of PGWP application.
I am about to when the school releases my papers on May 15, I will apply for PGWP. But at the moment I am on implied status, I extended my student permit last November 27, 2019, still waiting for the results.
