Hello!
I just graduated from accredited college and applied PGWP with spouse.
I am already working as skilled worker (NOC A) since last 1 year. I do have 3 pay stubs.
My questions are:
1) What job related documents should I include for me and my husband and also do I need offer letter or just job letter should work?
2) What additional documents are beneficial?
3) Due to COVID 19 , IRCC decided that there are no limitations to working hours? does it imply for or I can work only part time before I got my graduation status recorded?

1. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who-permit-result.asp?q1_options=1i&q2_options=2d

If your spouse has an open work permit (e.g. post-graduation work permit), you must attach a copy of your spouse’s work permit to your application for an open work permit, along with:
  • a letter from your spouse’s current employer that confirms they work there in a NOC 0, A or B occupation, or a copy of your spouse’s employment offer or contract, and
  • a copy of your spouse’s recent pay slips
2. Follow the checklist.

3. IRCC has not decided that there are no limitations. The 20 hour/week exemption applies to essential service workers only. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2020/04/removing-barriers-for-international-students-working-in-essential-services-to-fight-covid-19.html
