Can I apply for SOWP for my spouse along with my own PGWP application?

I am on study permit in Canada while my husband is here on PGWP. His PGWP and my study permit are for one year each.
After my study, I will be applying for my PGWP, while my husband's one-year PGWP will almost be at an end. In that situation, can I apply for an SOWP for my husband along with my own PGWP application, so that he can continue working here?

Only if you are working in NOC 0, A or B and have 3 pay stubs

Okay. You mean if my husband is working in NOC 0, A or B right? I am a student currently and he is working in a NOC A role.
Your question is futuristic, no? You asked whether you can apply for SOWP for your husband when you apply for your PGWP. So it's you that needs to be working a NOC ),A or B job, as well as have at least 3 pay stubs, to be able to apply for SOWP for him - when the time comes.

Okay I got it now! Thanks a lot :)
Yes the situation is futuristic as I am still studying. So once I complete my studies, get a job and 3 paystubs, I can apply for his SOWP based on my PGWP?

If the rules doesn't change by then, you should be able to.
