Me too, I waited 9 month for Ontario Masters PNP, only happened in 2016, sooner or later, the standard is always 3 months, then 4 months for a work permit. Every time I have an interview, I have to explain clearly what is implied status and why I am able to work legally. Still, interviewers thought I was bullshitting and told me they never heard about implied status, they have to see the work permit. People are paying for their inefficiency!
