It’s probably the best to apply for big companies that regularly hire temporary residents and deal with immigrant candidates. They know all about this implied status stuff so you don’t need to spend any time convincing them. Also is your social insurance number still valid? I saw some people on this thread mentioning that they can’t start working after their sin expired even though they are on implied status. The company can’t enter their sin in the payroll system since CRA doesn’t allow entering expired sin.
Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable to answer that. I would guess the start date of your permit is the date that IRCC issues your permit but not the date you applied. Wish you all the best by the way, things are tough now.
I also received a job offer and haven't received my PGWP yet. I gave the hiring manager (digital) copies of my student permit, my PGWP application receipts and a stamped letter from my university that confirms my degree.
Basically, I followed these recommendations straight from the CIC.

I'm scheduled to start working on August 24 and so far they haven't asked for additional documents.
Congratulations! I will try to reach out to HR again ans try convincing her, I really want to start working ASAP
Hey guys!
I applied my pgwp May 22th and got biometric letter May 23th. On the letter it asked me to provide the biometric before August 23th. However, all the appointments are canceled and we are no longer need to provide biometric due to this pandemic situation.
So do I just ignore the letter and keep waiting? Or do I need to write a letter ( webform) to let them know that I can’t provide it before due date? ( in system, it said still waiting for my biometric).
it’s kind of annoying waiting under this situation. Hope everyone can get Approval ASAP!

All biometrics are exempted for now if you are in canada. Your application will be processed without biometrics due to covid. We are all in the same boat. No need to send webform. Just wait. Hope this helped!
That's exactly happened with me two weeks ago. My Employer cancelled my job offer without giving me few weeks time. I guess we all have to wait until the decision is made on our applications.
My employer was also concerned, but I explained everything, provided links to the IRCC saying I’m allowed to worked and everything was fine. But I was working for this employer since January and still keep working. If you’re already employed talk to your HR and probably do a letter of explanation quoting IRCC.
I did everything, provided all necessary documents and links but they didn't care. All they wanted was valid SIN number.
i donot think it makes any sense for your company. Implied status is a legal status caused by IRCC's service standard and you should not be blamed. My company has no comment at all and just asks me to tell them once the result becomes available.
