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...
