I think you're wrong... I looked into it more and because a working holiday visa is NOT extendable, he cannot work on implied status. That being said, if we don't receive his OWP before his WHV expires, how do we change his status to a visitor so he can remain in the country?

Implied status - IEC
If you are a participant in the International Experience Canada (IEC) program and you apply for:
Leaving and re-entering Canada while under implied status:
You may be authorized to re-enter Canada:
Proof of implied status:
It is recommended that you provide these documents to prove that you have implied status:
If you are a participant in the International Experience Canada (IEC) program and you apply for:
- A subsequent work permit (WP) under one of the IEC eligible categories, you cannot continue working after the expiration of your current WP until you obtain the new one,
- Another type of WP at the latest on the expiry date of your WP under IEC, and it expires before a decision is made, you can continue working under the same conditions as your existing WP, as long as you remain in Canada.
Leaving and re-entering Canada while under implied status:
You may be authorized to re-enter Canada:
- As a temporary resident, if your application to extend your stay has not yet been approved (if applicable, it will be important to wait until you receive your new permit before you start to work/ study):
- this applies to you if, among other things:
- you are temporary resident visa (TRV)exempt,
- you hold a valid multiple-entry visa, or
- you have travelled only to the United States (including its Territories and Possessions) and/or St.Pierre and Miquelon,
- this applies to you if, among other things:
- As a worker or student:
Proof of implied status:
It is recommended that you provide these documents to prove that you have implied status:
- Your expired immigration document,
- (If the application was submitted by paper) A copy of the application to extend your stay sent to the Case Processing Centre before the expiration date of your status,
- (If the application was submitted online) A copy of the Confirmation of Online Application Transmissionmessage in your online account,
- A copy of the fee payment receipt included with the application, and
- (If applicable) A delivery confirmation from the postal service provider used to send the application.
" you can continue working under the same conditions as your existing WP"
The conditions under the WHV is that it is not extendable.
"Option 2:
Apply for another type of work permit.
If you apply for a new work permit, you should submit your application at least 30 days before your International Experience Canada work permit expires. This will ensure that you don’t lose legal status in Canada.
If your work permit expires before we process your application, you can keep working in Canada until you receive a decision on your application. This is known as implied status.
If we refuse your application for a new work permit, you must leave Canada before the date indicated on the letter we send you."
This is what shows up after selecting "Other" in the Extend or change your work permit - International Experience Canada link. So yes, you can work under implied status with an IEC permit when you've applied for an OWP through PR according to the Government of Canada website.
Just been able to link the OWP application to my wife's account!
The "Documents submitted by the client" is empty, however..

Hello guys,
I called up the Immigration office today regarding my OWP as we haven't yet recieved any word from them and the agent told me first we need to receive the Sponsor approval letter and after we receive the approval letter then only my OWP will come within 4 months.
Now I do not understand what's the eligibility criteria for getting the Sponsor approval letter?
Have you all received the Sponsor approval letter?

OWP linked today, September 6!
We haven't received it. I just read your previous comment, and I believe you were misinformed, I think they meant to say AOR, which I received July 11. It's my understanding that once your PR application is accepted (AOR), the OWP app is separated out and mailed to the processing center in Edmonton. From there, it's the standard 8-week processing time per IRCC website (note the line that says "This processing time doesn’t include the time it takes to send an application between a VAC and our office").
I haven't received it too, but:
We were able to link the OWP to our account, but we don't have it yet: so it is possible we will receive the approval letter between now and when we have the OWP? (I don't know enough about all the stages of the process I admit)
Oh thank you, but did you receive a separate application number for OWP? Because when I asked the agent about the application no for my OWP he started telling me about all this Sponsor's approval letter
I don't think so, since the PR application is separate from the OWP application at this point. If you look at the tracking spreadsheet, plenty of May applicants have received their OWPs but no one has received sponsorship approval.
