I have valid OWP until end of 2016 same date as my wife's study permit. My wife was the primary applicant on SP.
But recently my wife graduated and applied for PGWP.
As my OWP says expiry date as of 2016-dec-30, do I need to apply for owp again as my wife will get new PGWP for 3 more years?(I hope to get a PR by end of 2016)
"OWP Validity
Work permits may be issued with a validity date to coincide with the spouse’s study permit."

Once it was issued to a later date, will it expire with spouse's sp?
