Both Open Work Permits? Is that possible if your wife (I am assuming) is on PGWP?

IMHO (not familiar with PGWP), you need LMO before you could apply for a WP (closed WP, though). The experts (PMM,Leon, rjessome) can tell you better. You can try applying though; it's only $150.00 anyway.

If you're qualified to apply, e.g. AIP for in Canada PR application for LCP, spousal sponsorship or you're a spouse of international student, skilled TFW then you don't need to have LMO. Just attach copy of the AIP letter or Student Permit/Work Permit and copy of marriage contract/certificate. WP is $150.00 CAD.

I saw that you already joined the thread where some of the members share experiences applying for the LCP.

If you send your OWP application together with the PR application, you'll prob get your OWP before you receive the AIP (first stage approval, meaning you qualified under the LCP). You don't need to attach a LMO.

I inquired with the CIC call center people. If a spouse is working in Canada on a PGWP (post graduate work permit), then the applicant is also eligible for an Open work permit on the virtue of spouse's work permit. PGWP, for a highly skilled professional does not require an LMO, similarly, if the applicant job falls under 0, A or B of the national skill category (that's highly skilled professionals), the he/she too exempted from LMO.

I have double checked this with the call center people, and I shall be apply for one today. All I have to do is, attach the latest pay slip and employment proof of my spouse.

And a letter from the employer outlining his/her job duties to prove that s/he is working in NOC A, B or 0

Yeap, that is included in the proof of employment letter from the employer. Jr. Electrical Engineer, I guess that falls under 'High Skilled Professional'
