Can my spouse work as IT professional

[priyum521]

Hi,

I got work permit for 2 years as Software engineer.

Even my spouse got open work permit for same period of 2 years.

Now, can my spouse work as Software Engineer under Open work permit. Does Open work permit allows to work any job or any special jobs only need to work.

My spouse has 5+ years experience as Software Engineer.

Thanks in advance.
