hi to all,

Me and my wife both of us are International Students in Canada doing Masters in Science.My study permit is valid till 31 March 2012 and my wife's study permit is valid till 30 April 2012. We did a Civil Marriage in Canada got our marriage registered in Canada on July 29, 2010.
Now my question is can i apply for Open Work permit under Spouse Work Permit Category if i surrender my student permit or quit my studies. To support me and my wife i need to work full time which right now i can't do on my off-campus work permit. I had contacted CIC Call centre and they told me that right now both of us are on student permit so we can not apply for the Open Work permit under Spouse Work Permit Category, so i was just wondering "what if i discontinue my studies and apply for Open Work permit under Spouse Work Permit Category" ?

Thanks
