My spouse has a visitir visa (V1) for teh same duration. However I wish to convert her visitor visa to an open work permit.

You can just apply for her open work permit online at mycic. You need to upload a copy of your closed work permit. It's $150 for a work permit application and processing times are on the cic website

You have to create your own myCIC account first, prepare the scanned copy of your marriage contract, your work permit, etc, all requirements must be provided hence you can't proceed to the payment stage.
You can go by mail too but it takes longer.
Explore more the CIC website.
