Hi, I am eligible for a post-graduate BC PNP nomination, which means I can apply for PR even if I don't have a job because of the masters I did.
My spouse's work permit expires on April 2024 as per my study permit. But I already completed my studies and will be applying for PGWP and then for BC nomination.
My question is can I extend my wife's open work permit with my BC nomination letter if I don't have a job?

No you can't because open work permits are not extendable. She will have to ask her employer to give her a closed work permit or you will be able to extend it after getting AOR from federal process portion.
