My spouse(married) is currently with Post Graduate Work Permit in Canada. Her permit ends in another 6months.
I am a PR holder. If I apply for Spousal sponsorship, can she apply and get a new(or)extended work permit to continue working in Canada beyond the PGWP 6 months, until PR application is finalized?
I'm not familiar with Bridging WP rules when you already have an existing PGWP or OWP, as PGWP usually have more restrictions on extensions.
 
apply ASAP to get AOR then apply for the bridging OWP.
If you apply that OWP before the PGWP expires (or 2 weeks before it expires without AOR), then you will be in maintained status, and you can keep working until the decision is made on that OWP application.
