I don't think you can work full-time. I remember somebody raised a similar question to my university's immigration services, and they basically said since the extension for study permit was applied first, the study permit's conditions would be applied.
That's what i remember anyway

Did you receive a letter WP-EXT letter from them? If yes, it will be mentioned on it if you can work.

I checked our forums, last year people get approved on 25th Dec.
so I assume they still work tomorrow.
I think it's a federal holiday for IRCC employees, also 27th and 28th might be a holiday for them as well in lieu of Christmas and Boxing Day falling on the weekend.

For working full time after applying for PGWP, it is necessary to have valid study permit when you are applying. I don't think you can, since you were on implied status, you have to wait for your PGWP. However, you can call IRCC and ask them.
