Hi everyone.. Can any of you tell me if spousal permit for skilled noc still ok? Im just wondering because one of my friend said that its not available anymore. The spouse should get their own LMIA to have their own work permit.. Any answer will help.. Thank you.

Yes, if one has a work permit, the other can apply and get a OWP based on the primary holder's duration.
