For working full time after applying for PGWP, it is necessary to have valid study permit when you are applying. I don't think you can, since you were on implied status, you have to wait for your PGWP. However, you can call IRCC and ask them.
but another confusing part is i applied for tr to pr stream b non essential and according to that i cant be unemployed status!!!!!
IRCC not even picking up my call these days and processing time for pgwp is 110 that sucks i cant work for 4 months!!!

For tr to pr, only at the time of submitting application, you must be working. After that it doesn't matter. So don't worry about that. However, I know it's hard not working. I don't know what is the reason for this delay..

There might be an undercover employee here lol
It's public information, and it's pretty obvious: next couple of days are federal holidays

I could see :
December 25, Saturday Christmas Day
December 26, Sunday Boxing Day

May I ask why 27/28th are also federal holidays?
Maybe because the above fall on this weekend that's why perhaps?

Dec 27 is a holiday in Canada but I am not sure if the decisions are instant. So looking at it from a process workflow perspective, it is likely that decisions rolled out a few days ago, end up showing up today.

Cutting the long story short, I have seen Study permits getting approved last year throughout the holiday season. Hence
