I want to know what is average earning for an open work permit holder in a month?

That's impossible to say. It depends on the job you have, your salary / hourly pay, how many hours you work per month, etc.

Are you applying to or want to apply for a work permit. Where are you from. Note that it is almost impossible to get a job offer (if not specialized) from outside Canada. The employer has to apply for an LMIA at their cost and most are unwilling to do this.

As a student, you should assume you will be making minimum wage. You will be taxed on that income - so not all of it will be take home.

As Scylla says, it drastically depends on the job and what province you are going to. If you provide that information we may be able to guide you better. Canada is a huge country. If you are talking about minimum wage jobs, see here https://www.payworks.ca/payroll-legislation/MinimumWage.asp

For example for Ontario, the minimum wage is 14 CAD per hour. Please be aware, that that one will be taxed as well.

Also your spouse is not guaranteed an owp if you are a student.

Your spouse can work full time if their work permit is approved.

Note that your spouse will be eligible to apply for an open work permit but this does not necessarily mean the open work permit will be approved.
