Implied Status

[millsy]

I am an Australian currently in Canada on a working holiday permit which is about to expire. My employer has asked me to stay on and we have submitted a PNP application as I am to old to re-new my WHP. I consulted with a immagration lawyer before submitting my PNP Application, and he mentioned that I would have to apply for a work permit extension so that I could stay and work in Canada while my PNP application was processed. After talking to the immagration holiline it seems as tho I have to apply for a regular work permit before my current WHP expires then I would have Implied Status. What I am wondering tho is once I have a confirmaton that my PNP application has been recieved and being procesed do I also have implied status?
