study permit extension and sowp

[anushav]

Hi everyone, my spouse and I are currently on study permits. I have decided to take a second course and as a result, I'll need to apply for a study permit extension. During this process, I had a question in mind that some of you might have experience with. Can I also apply for an Open Work Permit (OWP) for my spouse along with my study permit extension application? If any of you have gone through a similar situation or have information about this, we'd greatly appreciate your insights and advice. Feel free to drop a comment or send me a message if you have any helpful tips or guidance to share. Your support means a lot to us!

You should really be posting to the International Students section of the forum.

Who got their study permit first? You or your spouse?

The your spouse should be able to get an OWP.

hi, thanks for the reply. Can we apply them together? Or should I wait until my permit gets approved and then file his application?
