Hi everyone,
I recently completed my study and received my course completion letter a week ago.I haven't received any job offer yet. My study permit expires next year on April 2021 and my wife's working on open work permit which expires on May 2021. Can she continue working? I am planning to apply for my PGWP first and apply for her OWP extension once I get a job offer.
Please share your experience and suggest what I should proceed.

1. She can continue to work until her work permit expires.
2. Whether she can renew her work permit depends on your job offer .In order for her to qualify for a work permit, you have to get a job with a NOC that's 0, A or B. If your job offer falls into NOC C or D, then she won't be able to be granted a open work permit.
