He'll soon have his post grad work permit i:e in june 2015
If i go for SOWP what are the requiremnts, processing time and validity of owp?
Then it is the wrong time to apply. You should wait till he gets his PGWP AND a NOC 0, A or B job. These are the primary requirements.
Processing time is the same as it takes for any wp from Pakistan - 4 months on average but depends heavily upon many factors including how good a case you are putting, what time of year you are applying etc.
Validity of SOWP is the same as that of the principal applicant.
If your spouse is about to complete his student status and will get PGWP soon, it is the wrong time to apply for any kind of visa. Be very clear about this. Your application will either be refused quickly (Best case) saying there is not enough time left in his current visa or (worst case) hung on until long AFTER expiry of his visa and then refused.
Update: I had already responded to your similar question on the Spousal open work permit thread. Please do read that through.
