How many paystubs do I have to submit for spouse wp I am on pgwp
Technically only Job offer in a skilled position should be enough too. But if you are already working, it makes sense to submit the most recent pay stub before the date of SOWP application. If you are really cautious, may be add a previous one too.

Depending upon what type of work permit he has. If its a Post graduate work permit, he needs to have a skilled job offer (NOC 0, A or B). Only then you are eligible for SOWP.

If its a LMIA based work permit already with a job offer, then wp alone is sufficient for you to be eligible for SOWP though obviously in that case too, he has a skilled job.

Hi,

Your 2 months time will complete tomorrow. So you can send case specific enquiry for the consulate to know the status of the application.

Every thing else GreehHak as well as b4Ahmad said is true except one aspect.

Your spouse doesn't need to have received PGWP and worked for x or y length of time to apply for a SOWP.

Technically you both could apply together for his PGWP + your SOWP if he has a skilled job offer along. So the day he can apply for PGWP and he already has a skilled job offer along, you can apply for SOWP along with him and submit as a single application.

Your current application most likely will be lost / refused or might even be issued for a very short time. I am not exactly sure of how CIC responds to individual cases as such. But even if you get a SOWP, it cannot be valid beyond your spouse's study permit expiry which is less than 6 months.
so do you prefer me to apply again with my husband PGWP or wait for the reply of previous application and send case specific enquiry?
He will apply for PGWP in the 1st week of may as he will receive his transcript by that time.

If you haven't received a decision by the time he applies (in which case you apply along with him again), you should submit a case specific inquiry with proof of his PGWP application plus his job offer.
