Good day!

My wife is going to complete her studies this April 2016, her visa expires on June 2016.
My visa expires on June 2016 as well.

She will be applying for Post Study Work Permit and seek for a job in her field which falls in B category on NOC.

I am currently working in Canada in B category as well and this April end I will have achieved 1 year of working in Canada in the same skill level.

I have heard that I would not be able to extend my Open Work Permit unless my wife gets a job and I would have to put her paperwork and apply.
Is this true? Is there any alternative for this?

She might get a 1 year contract job, but this is not confirmed yet. If she gets it, will it work and will I be able to apply to get 3 years work permit?

Requesting your advise.

Thanks & Regards,
Dinesh
