Restoration of status while waiting for PGWP?

Hello!

I have graduated from a university in Canada this year. I have applied for a PGWP (in June) but haven't heard anything yet. Before applying for the PGWP, I changed my status to visitor.

Canada gave me until July 29th 2019 (yesterday) for that visitor record, dumb me thought it was until tomorrow (July 31st). I was planning on applying to extend that visitor record since my PGWP is still not out. Now I have no choice but to apply for a restoration instead.

Would that be an issue? I *think* I have an implied status since I am waiting for my PGWP decision? But I really wouldn't like to leave all on implied status. Would that application jeopardize my PGWP?
