How did that happen.

Normally, TRV expires first and study permit later (In those cases when student change the course from short duration to a longer duration. Changing from 1 year course to 2 years after coming to canada)

Did he changed his course from longer duration to shorter duration after coming to Canada or what (changing from 2 yrs course to 1 year course) .

what's the background story. Can you please describe as its a bit confusing (at least to me)

Thanks

Okay.

So he has TRV for 7 more months (starting Feb 2014) and he is about to finish his studies in April 2014.

Well, you might not like what I am about to say. It is best to Waite till he gets his PGWP for 3years. Being honest, I would not know the feeling of separation after marriage, but I do know that it will be a bit hard to spend 6 more months in separation.

However, it is best to waite sometimes rather then making hasty steps. Followings are the points why you should waite.

1. Many people won't agree, but there are very high chances of rejection for SOWP when the spouse is on a student visa (dip/pg-dip) on a publicly funded college. So far I came across 3 successful SOWP wherein the spouse was enrolled into University either doing PhD or Masters. So unless your spouse is doing Masters/PhD from Uni, please do not waste your attempt.
2. After he gets PSWP of 3 years, tell him to find a decent job based on his qualification (Higher NOC Level preferred).
3. The job and his PSWP will allow him to prove the Immigration Officer that he is financially stable to maintain not only himself but also his family. And also once he starts paying TAXES ($$$$ to Govt) he will become an asset for the country.

Assume that you are an immigration officer and based on the guidelines who will you prefer.
1. A person who is financially unstable without job and can become a burden (Student Visa)
2. A person who has Canadian education and now contributing to Canada's economy (Open Work Permit with a Job)

So, I would personally prefer to Waite.....

Hope this helps

I forgot to mention one more point.

After getting PGWP (May or June 2014) and if he is gets decent job in a month or so then tell him to give IELTS. After he gets IELTS, while applying for your SOWP tell him to write his "dual-intent" in his covering letter. (this will add a strong backbone to your application)

Dual-Intent in general word is," you are proving the immigration officer that you intent to stay in Canada for ever and also that if your future plans changes then you intend to go back to your home country" This point nullifies that rule of rejection based on Intend to Over Stay.

I know it sounds a bit confusing but let me know when you are planning to apply and will explain in-depth. Meanwhile you can search google (best friend) about dual-intent
