I have a field job that I currently do part-time, which will be converted to full-time once I finish my program. I know one needs to stop working as soon as receiving a written confirmation from the DLI about program completion. I plan to apply for PGWP the same day I receive the completion letter from the school. Would that allow me to continue working?

Yes. If you apply for PGWP on the same day as you get your program completion letter you can just continue working, provided you know you haven't violated any study permit conditions previously and were eligible to work as a student and your SP is still valid.
