Spouse open work permit refusal. What next?

If you search on the official Canadian website, you'll see which institutions are eligible for PGWP. Only those will allow you to get an OWP for your spouse and a PGWP after finishing your studies. OMNI College doesn't seem to be one.

Thank you for the information. My husband & I took our chances because we have a close friend who was able to bring with her her common-law partner when she studied in OMNI College a few years ago. Maybe the VO reviewing their SP & OWP applications missed to see this restriction before.
This is the reason for refusal of my SOWP’ Spouses and common-law partners of full-time students in a program at some institutions in Canada can apply for a generic (open) work permit. However, the institution your spouse or common-law partner is attending is not an institution that is qualified under this category.

SOWP ext is based on your PGWP (job offer, paystubs) and doesn’t matter that he has a job. If his SOWP has expired, he must stop working and cannot continue working until he has reapplied and been approved for SOWP. For him to be approved, you must have a job with job letter and pay stubs. Once you have that, he can apply for SOWP.
Thanks for the reply. Can i work as a Physio assistant as i have an Bachelor degree back home but its been a ten years before as i moved on from Physio to MBA HR and now can i get back into my Physio career and if i provide that employment and offer letter will that work for IRCC. Because i came here for an MBA program only and i completed it too. Now can i get back again to my physio career, or should i maintain a relevant job that i relevant to my study here in canada. If i can do physio job too will that affect my PR application in future?
