Hi All,

I have recently graduated and am about to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). My wife, who is currently employed in a Tier 1 job, holds a Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP). Both our permits (study and work) are valid until November 25, 2024. Given the recent changes to the SOWP (Jan 14th), I am concerned about my status as a student.
-> Now that I have finished my studies, will I no longer be considered a student when applying for the PGWP?
-> According to the latest updates, do I need to secure a job in Tier 0 or Tier 1 to extend my wife’s visa?
-> Furthermore, if I apply for the PGWP before January 21st, will the changes affect my wife’s status?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated, as we are quite unsure about our next steps.

Thanks.
