Answered; see thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/owp-wait-time-change-feb-application.678000/same situation any update?
Summary: @Baymaxboop called IRCC and IRCC confirmed that applying for OWP with an inland spousal sponsorship PR application grants implied status for people transitioning from PGWP visas. Please note: @Baymaxboop has about 5 months left on their PGWP, and we (and the IRCC agent @Baymaxboop talked to, I presume) are assuming IRCC will start processing the OWP application before their PGWP expires.
