Do I have implied status?

My IEC open work permit expires in March 2021.

4 months ago I submitted an inland spousal sponsorship PR application.
Also, at the same time, an open work permit application.

Does this qualify for "implied status"?

how do I prove it?

Or... how do I switch to visitor status? (considering covid)

I read about a bridging work permit. Is this a specific type of work permit or essentially what I have applied for with my PR.
One which serves its purpose while they assess my PR

I am in Canada. Still working. Hope to remain here in some capacity untill my PR has been decided.

Any advice / experiences appreciated!

You will be in implied status after March based on your OWP application unless if it is not returned due to incompleteness.
