She can keep working until a decision is made on her application. - An automatic letter WP-EXT was probably issued on her online account when she applied just login and download that letter, she can show her employer that she's authorized to work full-time until the decision is made using that letter. She does not have to renew her study permit while waiting for her PGWP decision.

Can I work while I am waiting to receive my post-graduation work permit?
You can work full-time while waiting for a decision on your post-graduation work permit application if, at the time you submitted your application, you:

• had a valid study permit,
• had completed your program of study,
• were eligible to work off-campus without a permit, and
• did not work off-campus more than 20 hours a week during academic sessions.

Thanks for the quick reply. Are WP-EXT and IMM5739_2 the same? We can see an automatic generated letter saying "This confirms that your application has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on __________________(yyyy/mm/dd)." Do you mean this is what she needs to show her employer? How about the SIN? SIN wont be expired when she has this letter?

No WP_EXT and IMM0127_1 are same.

You can still work on expired SIN if you have a WP application under process and as soon as it gets approved, send it to CRA and they will mail you the new expiry date (SIN will remain the same) - https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1505&top=17

Hi there everyone is it normal to have your application status as submitted from past 3 months?
And can we travel back to Canada if we applied work permit from inside and then moved back to our home country due to some medical emergencies.
