I have applied for my work permit extension five days ago. It is a spouse dependent open work permit. My work permit expired 2 weeks ago. My wife was not able to get documents from her college due covid-19. Can I work now on implied status?

There is extension to restore the temporary status from 90 days to till December 31, 2020. During the COVID-19 pandemic, temporary residents who remained in Canada have been encouraged to renew their work or study permits to maintain their legal status in Canada.
As per IRCC
‘Former workers, students and visitors whose status expired after January 30, 2020, and who remained in Canada will now have until December 31, 2020, to apply to restore their status, provided they meet the requirements for the type of status and authorization they are applying to restore.’
The public policy also allows former work-permit holders applying for an employer-specific work permit to work while a decision on their restoration application is pending.
In your case, you can also work.
