Hi wondering if anyone could clarify this for me.

I was recently approved for an open work permit through my spouse.

My work permit states it is valid through until May 2019, however my spouses work permit is only valid until November 2018

On the bottom of my permit it states "accompanying spouse in work permit valid to same date"

Should I take this to mean that she is now valid through to the date shown on my visa - May 2019, or should i take it to mean my permit is only valid until hers expires?

Thanks

Hi

It means that IRCC screwed up and you have a permit valid until May 2019. Your spouse's permit is NOT extended because if this and remains valid only until Nov.
