Thanks! So, regarding health care, it has been renewed and paid for the two of us until April 30, so I believe that even if I were to drop out, say, in a couple of weeks that would still be valid until the end of April?
fkl said:You got the right information. I wasn't aware of the recent restrictions in study permit programs.

However, this does not affect or say any thing about the dependent work permit. My take is that they are fine continuing to work till the expiry of their work permit.
E.g. you were issued SP for 2 years and your spouse got SOWP for 2 years. Now you quit your SP 2 months in. Now your institute might report it and according to above info, your SP becomes invalid 90 days after you stopped studying.
However, your Spouse's work permit remains valid till its expiry of 2 years and she can continue working.
You might have issues renewing health care etc. if at that time the principal Study permit is no longer valid. But otherwise, you are fine.
