No. The PGWP can't be approved until you have valid status.

Apply for your PGWP before your study permit expires. If you do this you will be under implied status and can work. If you let it expire or do not apply for your PGWP, you have to stop working.

That clause refers to applying for a post graduate work permit - not a working holiday visa. If you have completed your course of study, qualify for a PGWP and apply for the PGWP before your study permit expires - you can work full time until a decision in your PGWP is made. The same rules...

Hi, Obviously your application will be returned with rejection before 2 months. So no need to apply. I can give you two ways - 1. Try to search employer who will grant you LMO before the expiry of PGWP. Talk to some immigration consultant. They charge around $10,000 but will help you in...

Yes, you can do that, the work experience will count from the date you applied for the PGWP.

as long as you have applied for pgwp before your study permit expires then you have implied status and can work legally until a decision has been made

For anyone out there still wondering, I can confirm that work experience gained after applying for PGWP but before getting PGWP approved DOES count towards CEC work experience (with the usual caveats of not working more than 20 hrs as a student etc.). I used 2.5 months of that and got a PR!
