Hi,
I'm an international student completing 1-year pg program. I'm applying for my PGWP very soon, I have a job offer in NOC A and I will only start working as implied status after applying for PGWP. can I apply open spouse work permit for my wife who is outside canada along with my pgwp application? or should I first receive my pgwp and then apply oswp?

Please help

Thanks.

You can apply for both at the same time as long as you are already working in a NOC A, B or 0 role.

In that case you'll need to apply for the PGWP first and then apply for the SOWP later. To apply for the SOWP, you must already be working in the NOC A, B or 0 job and provide proof through an employment letter and pay slips in the SOWP application.

Thanks for the reply. One additional point is I have done my 2 month coop at the same place, Since I can't work fulltime after my coop period, I'm working as a part-time employee until I receive my final grades. Even with this, I should be first applying PGWP and then SOWP right?

Why cant you work after your coop period?
 
Yes thats what I said! I'm working part time in NOC A as soon as I get my grades, I will apply pgwp and start working full time. So would I be able to apply SOWP parallelly?
