International student completed graduation and will be applying for PGWP alongwith extension of SOWP as my family is already in Canada. I do not have a job offer and due to changes coming with regard to SOWP we want to apply for our visas together. Is there a possibility that we apply our visas together and once I have a job offer, update that information to IRCC? We do not want to wait till my PGWP is approved as now they will give SOWP to only spouses of degree or doctorate holder. I am a Diploma graduate and feel that it would be risky to apply for spouse work permit later. Though our visas are valid till next year. Please advise what would be the best option incase of no job offer.

Show me that your spouse is not eligible for SOWP with only doctorate and above. Think you are misreading that.
Was on the same boat. Applied separately and his extension got rejected. Would advise you to apply together but try to submit your full time letter and other docs as soon as you get it. One of my friends, got her and her husband's visa rejected because they didn't submit the full time letter.
Also just in case, apply for TRVs for both of you too. its really unpredictable right now.
This is for students not PGWP holders. Show me where it states that SOWPs are not eligible is spouse is PGWP holders. Changes are not yet implemented and you are a student now and not a student after Nov. 1.
My authorization letter from IRCC expires next month, and I haven’t received my PGWP yet. Should I submit a web form to immigration to try and speed up the process?
My wife's study is completing this week and will get her completion letter in January 2025. I am on SOWP valid till 30-April-2025. My wife has a part time job and is not able to secure a full time job yet. Can we apply for her PGWP and my SOWP together based on her part time job? I know my job doesn't make any difference but shall I include my job offer letter and paystubs to show regular income?
Only her job and paystubs are important but you can include yours. Apply and see what happens.
