My spouse is interested in studying in Canada, Ontario, so she is applying to several universities. I understand that while she studies I can obtain a Work Permit. My questions are the following:

1. While working with a Work Permit sponsored by my wife’s study permit, can I apply for permanent residency? Can I include my wife on the application while she is on a study permit?
2. Can she apply for permanent residency while on a Study Permit?
3. If I don’t have a job while on Work Permit, can I still apply for Permanent Residency?
4. If I get a job offer while on Work Permit, can I use that offer to apply for Permanent Residency?
5. If I'm employed by the time my wife's study permit or post-graduation work permit expires, can I use a letter from my employer to apply for a work permit?...or a PR?

Thank you in advance,

Thank you in advance,
1. if you have prior experience in NOC 0, A and B outside Canada of minimum 1 year, you can qualify as FSW. If you qualify for FSW, you might as well apply for PR now as it will drastically reduce your wife's tuition fees. If you are applying for a student visa, dont disclose that you are studying there with the view to never go back. im not sure if dual intent applies to this.
2. if you qualify for FSW then yes as CEC would not kick in by then
3. if you qualify for FSW, your job in Canada wont matter
4. a job offer that with LMIA would give you 50/200 points that you can use for PR
5. same answer as no 4.
