This is the reason for refusal Spouses and common-law partners of full-time students in a program at some institutions in Canada can apply for a generic (open) work permit. However, the institution your spouse or common-law partner is attending is not an institution that is qualified under this category.
For YORK UNIVERSITY.
Should we relodge with justification?

I have seen over internet, courses over a year or more rarely had any hurdle to get their SWOP approved. Less than year is always a big fish to fry !

You can simply add the new LOA for new program via webform and explanation letter. You don’t need to withdraw.

Spouses are eligible if attending a DLI but not guaranteed based on ties to home country, funds, program spouse taking etc. Assume you have applied because January is a few weeks away. If you have not applied then probably the SOWP will be rejected because you cannot apply with less than 6 months on the study permit. So if processing takes a long time and close to completion of the program, then SOWP will be rejected

So were you approved for a study permit, and the SOWP was refused? If so, SOWPs are not guaranteed. The student needs to show reasons to return and if the spouse is in home country, that is a strong to go back after studies. So the study permit may have been approved for that reason and the SOWP refused.

Is there any written proof that 8 months course not eligible for SOWP?
Reason of Refusal is Spouses and common-law partners of full-time students in a program at some institutions in Canada can apply for a generic (open) work permit. However, the institution your spouse or common-law partner is attending is not an institution that is qualified under this category.
York University is DLI.
i only enclosed offer letter(Acceptances letter only)

No, there is not and never said that. Said that spouses are not guaranteed SOWPS. Was the offer letter unconditional? Were you approved for the study permit? If so include, proof you are full time - tuition paid, registration, unconditional acceptance letter? Sometimes a letter is not enough. What is the program at York?
