No you can't work after your PGWP expires. If you have not received AOR you should switch your status to visitor status so you still have status in Canada if your application gets sent back. You should include your OWP with your inland spousal sponsorship application. You will get the OWP approximately 4 months later as long as there were no errors or things missing on the application.

Thanks Cannuck.

I have just called CIC couple of times and they have told me that If you are on PGWP you can continue work on implied status when you submit for Family class sponsorship along with OWP.She also told me that people with IEC cant work on implied statusDo you think its different for IEC and PGWP?

I just dont want to lose my job (
