Did you apply your workpermit online or paper based and what document did you attached with the application, saying that you have finished your study. I have attached the complition letter that I got from college.

Yeah I applied for it online on 30th April. I was gonna attach just the completion certificate but thought over it and attached my official transcripts too. But I think it's fine even if you attach 1 of these as they themselves list out the options. Yeah I did attach a letter of explanation citing the link to the University's website stating my program was a traditional 2 year program, I stated that my official transcripts show that I was a FT student throughout so I am eligible for 3 years of PGWP. Also cited my start and completion date in the letter of explanation.
