Can you please clarify something for me, with the working holiday visas they do get implied status for an inland application with the OWP right?
Implied status under pilot project for OWP

This sums it up pretty good: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/working-holiday-visa-and-implied-status-t251303.0.html
That's what I thought too, that working holiday visas definitely don't get implied status, but then I talked to a guy in Montreal whos partner did the exact same thing and worked with no problems for 4 months till he got the OWP. He said under the pilot project since Dec 22 2014 working holiday visas do get implied status. It's so confusing! And I don't trust CIC call agents with correct information, and can't get through to them anyway it won't even transfer me to a respresentative...
That guy's partner worked illegally. He just wasn't caught. There are many people who manage to work illegally and aren't caught. However we've seen at least three cases here were people were caught (specifically with IECs) and there were significant impacts to their PR applications (one was even refused landing after being issued the PR visa). So there's no question as to whether you can continue working after the IEC expires or not (you clearly can't). It's just a matter of wither you're willing to take the risk of working illegally.kristen1234 said:
