PR cancelled while on implied status

Hi there,

Last week, my boyfriend and I submitted our PR application under the Express Entry - FSW program. This week we applied for our BOWP and attached our AOR, which is currently in progress. On Friday, we received notification that our PR application was cancelled due to incompletion - it was a silly mistake on our side. We uploaded the incorrect file for AU Police Cert, and excluded the Driver History by accident. I'm so annoyed at myself, because we have those details and it was a simple mistake of uploading the wrong file.

Anyway, i understand we have to start again and are confident that we'll get ITA next round. My questions are as follows:

1) Can I still work on implied status until my BOWP decision is made (I'm assuming it will be rejected due to PR application 1 being cancelled)? Or do I have to stop working when my current work permit expires next week and apply for visitor visa instead?
The research I've done online suggests that either 1) my implied status allows me to work until my PR decision is made, OR, 2) I'm allowed to continue to work until my BOWP decision is made. I can't find anything concrete.

2) If we receive ITA in next round, and submit PR Application 2, can I disassociate AOR 1 from BOWP application and link AOR 2 instead?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I was sick when I received the cancellation notice on Friday.

Thanks everyone!

1) You can continue working until a decision is made in your BOWP application. If your BOWP is refused, you'll be out of status in Canada and will need to apply to restore your status. Note that you cannot apply for PR (i.e. submit your PR application) while out of status n Canada.

2) I would personally submit a new BOWP application.

That's great scylla, thanks so much for your response. Hopefully my implied status to BOWP will take about 5 weeks or so. By then, I'm hoping that another round of invites will be sent out and we will have submitted our application again. My BOWP will be rejected so I will quit my job and I will then apply to restore my status as a visitor as my work permit will have expired by then.

All this is above board, right?
