Hey,

I applied May 19th (inland) and there's no movement yet. I wasn't working full time then but i started working in June. Am I supposed to let IRCC know that I started working? I left the employment part blank when I filled out the PGWP forms.
you don’t have to fill the employment part as your main occupation in Canada was full time student. So employer is the school you attended to and your occupation was full time student.
you can start working full time whenever your application is sent until a decision is made on your case.
No, you do not need to inform them.

yes you can! as long as your visa is still valid as that will allow you to enter the country. since you applied for the work permit you have implied status.

Hey, i want to ask that i worked full time during semester in essential service during covid when rules were relaxed for permitted hrs to work , will this cause any trouble in pgwp application? How would officer know that my work was indeed in essential service.?

Won’t be an issue, IRCC can find out easily.

They'll find out through your SIN which is linked to your UCI (shown on your permit). I wouldn't worry about it though. PGWP processing are taking forever because of the sheer amount of applications submitted around this time.
