Hello,
I am an international student finishing a 2-years Master's degree at University of Toronto (the official program end is August 31, but I will receive a letter that I completed my studies next week, and planning to apply for PGWP in the beginning of August).
My spouse currently holds an Open Work Permit as a spouse of international student, and it is valid to the length of my study permit, the end of November 2019.
I wanted to know what happens now - if I am employed and have 3 salary slips we could apply for his SOWP. However, I am not sure until when his work permit is LEGALLY valid, as it depends on my status as a student. Does it remain valid until end of November 2019? or is it valid only until 90 days after my completion of studies? (in this case, end of October?) or does it loose it's validity immediately after I completed my studies?
Ideally he could continue working continuously if he applies before November 2019 (and I am employed and have 3 salary slips), but we weren't sure if he could continue using his current open work permit even after I am no longer a student...
Thanks!
