Hi everyone,
I just completed my PR application and I am planning to apply for BOWP as my PGWP is about to expire. Between the period my PGWP expires before I get my BOWP, can I work under implied status? Thanks for the help

Yes, as long as you do not leave Canada before you receive the BOWP - you lose implied status if you exit the country.

As noted above, you must apply for the BOWP before the PGWP expires.
