Applied for PGWP but didn't receive WP-EXT

[andrew_larson]

I applied for PGWP a few days and got two messages instantly (payment receipt and submission confirmation). I didn't get the WP-EXT message. I meet every eligibility for working full time according to the IRCC website (valid study permit, study completed, etc.) but I still haven't gotten the WP-EXT. Can I start working full-time? Am I on maintained/implied status?
Also, is there a way to request WP-EXT? webform?

I applied on Jan 23rd.

I got this response from the immigration consultant:
"Some people get it and some don't. If you're on maintained status, you are able to work while you wait for your PGWP to be processed.

If you don't get the letter, you can try sending your employer pages on the IRCC website that say you can work while on maintained status."

Yeah legally you're good. Just an inconvenience trying to tell employers you can work

For me though, I had taken a co-op work term, so my study permit expired at the same time my co-op work permit expired. But, I applied for my work permit as soon as I got my program completion letter.

So, I am confused whether I could work these months before I get the decision on work permit application.

Give it a few more days and if nothing call IRCC and check

Meanwhile, can I work full time? My application matches all the criteria for PGWP eligibility.
