I was in your situation. Actually worse. I worked almost 2 months after graduation because I didn’t know I shouldn’t. I called IRCC and the agent was extremely reassuring telling me it wouldn’t be a problem, thousands of students make the same mistake every year, told me not to worry and I did all the right thing (submitted LOE). And I did got approval after 100 days (applied august) without a problem. So really, if I were you I wouldn’t sweat about it and just wait for the approval.
Same here, except I stopped working immediately. I applied in September. Hopefully the wait isn’t long.

I didn’t get an email. I always stalk my account and then today it says my status updated. My background check changed to “Not Applicable” and started reviewing eligibility.
