Since you're on a PGWP, your employer can apply for an LMIA to support your PR application (no fee). Here's another link you can check out:

Did u get approval ? And how long it took them to process it??
Also how come no fees ? I thought u need to pay $1000 ?
Yup, we got approved (my PR application has been approved as well).
The $1000 fee is for a dual-intent LMIA, meaning if your employer is sponsoring both your work permit and application for PR.
Since you have your own work permit already (PGWP), the LMIA will be just to support your PR application (so that you get 50 points) and that entails no fee.
I believe the standard processing time once you submitted an application is 2 weeks or so but mine took almost 2 months as they had a delay due to a backlog in applications.
Wow. Congratulations happy for u!!!!!
