I hope this helps. Since you have already applied for work permit extension, you can def. work until the decision is made. As for the Spousal Work permit, you have to wait until AOR then only you can apply for SOWP. This link has instructions on how to apply for SOWP...
If you are applying OWP under Spouse Sponsorship, consider it as a new application. And fill it according to the instructions given on the guide. I had a OWP, but when I applied for OWP under Spouse Spon. I have followed the instructions.
I have not sent any webforms, but I did called twice and the update is not even for the date I called. Hopefully something got updated. I am only waiting for the security check in background check to start.
I have an update on PR Tracker after June yesterday “we have received your enquiry” it is there on different dates 5 times, does any one has seen such update on trackers as well?
You will need a AOR https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/special-initiatives-pilot-project/partner.html
