Will it be taken against us if my spouse applies for SOWP and we write that the reason she wants a work permit is to partly defray the costs of studying and living expenses? We are financially capable of funding my study without working as required in the study permit application, but obviously minimizing the amount that we will take out of our savings would be ideal.

If we use that as a reason for her SOWP application, will that be cause for our application to be denied or is that something they already expect?

Would not include information. It will work against as your spouse can help defray costs by working in home country.
