My question is that "What will happen with the Open Work Permit of Spouse after completing the study permit? Can he/she continue work means is there any provision of extension of OWP?
or spouse have to go back to his/ her native country?

As below statement is crystal clear about Open Work Permit for spouse during that study permit of student only and not giving any information after this.

Determine your eligibility
Your spouse or common-law partner may apply for a work permit if:

you are a full-time student at:
a public post-secondary institution, such as a college or university or collège d’enseignement général et professionnel (CEGEP) in Quebec
a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as a public institution, and receives at least 50 percent of its financing for its overall operations from government grants (currently, only private college-level educational institutions in Quebec qualify) or
a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees
you have a valid study permit
Validity
Work permits for your spouse or common-law partner are valid for the same period of time as your study permit.

To renew the open work permit the spouse who has completed their studies needs to apply for a PGWP and secure a full time job that is NOC A, B or 0.
