Hi asutoshdesai:

When your wife's study permit gets approved, you will be automatically eligible for an Open Work Permit.  This allows you to work full-time, on any job in any industry.  Your employers will not have to file for an LMO, so that is an added advantage.  Your Open Work Permit will be for the same duration as your wife's study permit.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
