Hi,

I am in Canada. I have SINP Nomination with my spouse and kids name on the Nomination Certificate as accompanying.
My spouse and kids are outside of Canada.
My PGWP expires in 5 months from now.

Now, can i apply for Spouse Open Work permit of my wife at the same time when I apply for my own Closed Work permit (as my nomination is tied to employer).
OR
I need to first get my closed work permit and then apply for open work permit of my spouse based on that?

What are my options in this case? Please help.

Not a family sponsorship question, ask in the forum relevant to SINP.
