Still awaiting PGWP application - Requested for extension of work authorization letter- when will IRCC reply for webform raised on 8th Dec 2022?

[QueenBee27]

I applied for PGWP on 4th Sep 2022. Its been 101 days and still I havent received any update on my application. I lost a lot of potential job offers due to the implied visa status and finally got an entry level full-time job in IT in November. On the work authorization letter provided by IRCC, the validity date is 3rd Jan 2023 and I have raised a webform and requested an extension of date on the work authorization letter.
How long does IRCC take to respond to webform? I am stressed, if I dont receive the extension letter on time, it may jeopardize the job I hold now. Is there a way to expedite my request? Will contacting local MP help me?
Kindly help me with answers.

In my personal opinion: you will maintain an implied status until IRCC provides a decision on your application. the 120-day expiry was an older system when PGWPs were being processed within 120 days. This is not the case anymore.

Thank you @SKant. I previously shared these links with my current employer. But, they are reluctant to consider as they are general information and not case-specific.
Will contacting Local MP help speedup the process?

Did IRCC response? Did you seek help from your local MP?

My sister is in the same situation where her workplace asked to provide additional letter. The information on IRCC website is too general and they did not accept it.

She submitted web form in beginning of December but no response so far.

I think you are quoting/replying to me; I think you wanted to reply the original poster @QueenBee27

The MP office replied that since it is within IRCC processing times, they will not be able to do anything further and I have to wait.
