OK, I'm in the exact same situation as OP but with one BIG difference, my visa does not expire by the end of the course of my spouse but one year after the end of her course.

So, while she applies for PGWP and get her job do I still have my valid OWP?
Your OWP is valid until it expires.

That's amazing. I'm in the same situation as marcotulio.
My wife is finishing studies in a couple of weeks; I've been working full-time in same company for 2 years and they need me there. I thought that I'd need to stop working as soon she gets the Status Graduate, so she'll become a full-time employee, get 3 pay slips + letter from employer, so I could apply for my OWP. Is good to know that I don't need to stop working. ;D

About this Status Graduate from school. Her last classes and last exam are this week, can she start working full-time before the status graduate (school takes up to 6 weeks to process scores and paperwork for graduation)?

Thank you very much!
