Did she write on the work permit application that she is requesting an open permit as the wife of a student as well as send copied of your passport, study permit and your marriage certificate? If yes, then the refusal was in error. She should apply again. If no, she should do that and apply again.

She should write that she is applying for an open permit as the spouse of an international student. Hopefully she will get a different visa officer for the second application.

Yes, exactly as Leon said, it has been dealt wrongly. Some how they didn't realize that she is wife of a student (i hope a full time degree like Masters in a Canadian university), not some lower level course in a college in Canada. Also you need to have more than six months left in your study permit at the time your application is processed.

The only additional thing you can do is to show some financial capability / funds either in her name or if you the student has saved something in Canada.

Because students are already required to show proof of funds for a year because they cant work full time in Canada. When you add a spouse to that, you need to show enough funds too to be able to support her for say a year if she does not get a job (likely). That is like 5-6k CAD which should be sufficient.

This comes from some one who recently went through the same though because i had a job offer from Canada and i applied for my wife and kids together - along with me (wife Open work permit and kids trvs), we got all approved along. I didn't need proof of funds, because my LMO and job offer was the substitute.
