I applied Inland for PR (being sponsored), and now I'm waiting to receive AOR so I can apply for an Open Work Pemit.

I currently have a valid Study Permit. Would I be able to start working while the OWP application is processed? Or do I need to wait until the OWP gets approved first?
Anybody with a similar situation?

Are you studying full-time to work 20 hours per week. If not, no.

I study full-time, and already work 20h per week.
I wanted to know whether I could start working full-time without the 20h limit right away.
Your imply status just let you continue on your current status until a decision is made for your new permit.
It doesn't "upgrade" your status. If you are not studying full time, you cannot work 20 hours a week. Until you get the new OWP, you are still under your current study permit (e.g. study full time and work 20 hr)
