Can I reapply for the PGWP after receiving my Study Permit Extension

I applied for my Study Permit Extension in July and have been on maintained status since then. Two weeks ago, while still on maintained status, I submitted my application for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). From what I understand, I'm not allowed to work until a decision is made on the PGWP if it was applied for while on maintained status.

Today I received approval for my Study Permit Extension. My question is: Can I now work full-time now or do I need to reapply for the PGWP under my valid study permit in order to be eligible to work full-time while I wait for the PGWP decision?

Thank you in advance for your help!
