Someone on PGWP CAN continue working on implied status. IT IS NOT the same thing as IEC. I've said this over and over in the forums and Ponga, you keep telling people the wrong information! Please, people on PGWP, call CIC and have them confirm to you that if you are on PGWP and applied for an OWP along with the inland app, YOU ARE ON IMPLIED STATUS AND CAN CONTINUE TO WORK UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS.
It is so frustrating to see this said again and again when it is false information. I'm sorry, I hadn't said anything the last three times I saw it but I feel bad for the people that get told this! If you don't believe me call CIC, any officer will tell you this.
