Hello. I am applying for my PGWP, and I have already hired in a full time job in NOC B. Since my wife's SOWP is valid until the end of August, which option do you think in more logic and of course legal:
1-I apply for PGWP and SOWP extension together( however I guess I need 3 payslips,which I dont have them obviously at this time because I cant start the job until I apply for PGWP)
2_ I apply for PGWP and visitor visa for my wife at the same time and after I attend the job and receive payslips, I apply for SOWP
3- I apply for PGWP and do nothing for my wife status(since her work permit is valid until August)and since I guess I can receive the approved PGWP in short time and before her work permit expiry date( because of current situation they issue PGWP faster), and then I apply for her work permit extension along with my payslips. About the last scenario, I am not sure that she can continue working or not.
I appreciate any suggestions that I can make a decision sooner.

Hi, How did you proceed further in your case to get the PGWP and SOWP successfully without your wife quitting her job? I would like to know as I will also be facing the same a in couple of months.
 
The third option is what you should do. As long as your spouse's work permit is valid, she can continue working. So, apply for your pgwp first, receive 3 payslips from your workplace and then support your sop extension with payslips you got and a letter from your employer, which shows you are working in noc B.like I said, while you guys are waiting for your pgwp results after you apply, both of you can keep working.

Thank You so much for your prompt response. It means a lot to me.
