The CSQ is if you intend to work or migrate to Quebec. PGWP you can go anywhere in Canada. I cant definitively say if you are or are not allowed to apply for both, but I dont see a problem with it.

this forum actually helps. since people update when they get it its easy to follow. for mine i checked my account almost everyday. when they are working on your application the status will change from "submitted" to "updated" and then back to "submitted". after a few hours it will change to either"approved" or not. the email for the approval comes 24 to 48 hours after the actual approval on your account. the approval update here was for june 18th application.

This is insane. I feel like there is only one person working on applications.
Yes, you can check the records. On Sep1 someone got approval for June 18 and 20. Now two weeks later, still there. However the day for study permit from 72 to 52. PGWP from 72 to 84. OMFG
