Spousal Open Work Permit extension questions

[saikrib]

Hello,

I need some guidance on the new spousal rules

I am currently on my spousal open work permit till December where my wife will complete her studies by then.

She is eligible for a 3 year PSW(PGWP) and at the time of process in the initial stage even i was eligible for a work permit through the same duration.

I need some help on the new guidelines as it states spouse work permits are no longer eligible for a open work permit from Jan 21, 2025 and does this apply for my scenario as well.

Thanks in advance.

You are eligible but you have to meet the new requirements here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/notices/changes-open-work-permits-family-members-temporary-residents.html

Assume you mean PGWP and not PSW.
