SOWP on a study permit that has changed to temp PGWP

[AliKat]

Hi everyone! I need urgent help with my query. My spouse is due to land with an SOWP this week. We applied for an SOWP based on my student visa in July 2024. Received the SOWP on Jan 21,2025. However, I completed my studies and graduated on Jan 12, 2025. I applied for PGWP in Feb. My student visa is valid till Dec 2025 and my spouse also received the same validity. Can my spouse still land even though I am no longer a student? Will there be issues at immigration because of the change in my status? I’m not sure what we should do, anyone been through the same situation? Thanks for the help and insights

Spouse should get SOWP until December but will not know until entry to Canada.

Were you clear that you were scheduled to finish your studies in December 2024 when you applied for the SOWP? Assume you have also researched whether they will qualify for an SOWP under your PGWP.
