How did you get your open work permit? Was it based on your spouse's closed work permit?

Yes.. It is based on my spouse's closed work permit

Then no - you cannot extend your open work permit.

My work permit is expiring by March end and I have started process to extend it. I have already applied for my Spouse's Open WP with my existing WP and it is under process and by the time he gets his Visa, it will be March starting week. Now, until when will his VISA be valid - standard 6 months or only until my current Visa (ie: March end)? Will he be able to travel to Canada with that Visa? Should I re-apply for him or extend it (he is outside Canada, I am in Canada)?
