PGWP to SOWP

[mvalo]

Hi all,

I currently hold a PGWP which is due to expire this April 24'. My wife has her PGWP till August 2025. She is currently working as well.

My questions are:

1. Can I apply for WP based on her PGWP length?
2. Do I need to stop working if my PGWP expires and there is no update on the WP application?
3. Can I do flagpoling for the same?

Thanks!

Did you and your spouse apply separately for study permits and then PGWP. If you were ever the primary applicant you would not qualify for SOWP.

Yes, we applied separately for our study permits. She came to Canada on 2021 and I arrived here on 2022. Both as students but on different years. We got married here later on. @canuck78
