You would have to wait for AOR before you can apply for your PGWP as you need the AOR as evidence for your permit extension application. Typically, AOR for PNP-Paper based takes minimum 2 months. When I applied for my PNP-Paper based in Oct 2017, I got my AOR late Dec 2017. If you factor the present conditions to the equation you are looking at at least 4 months or more because even CEC, the fastest stream is a little slow at the moment due to Corvid-19.
So I suggest you get into the Express entry stream with your provincial nomination which will increase your score and if you already have over 1 year canadian work experience and IELTS or its equivalents, it makes the score higher making your probability to get ITA in the next couple of draws.
This is a valuable information nobody told me 2017, which means I am just doing the CEC I would probably have done in 2017-18 and gotten my PR now.
Hello Andy, could you throw some light on the biometric situation please. I received the BIL recently but not sure what to do as it seems centres are closed for biometrics. Thanks.

The temporary UCI number will change to a regular UCI number after the application crosses the R10 Completeness Check stage. Eligibility Review will be the next step.
Note that the progress bar just shows the time elapsed from the day an application is submitted. It does not inform what stage or how far an application has been processed.
