1. No, with a SOWP you can work wherever you want.
2. No.
3. No, you have to stop work, apply as a visitor. You have to wait until your spouse gets a NOC A, B or C job, has a job description and at least 2 pay stubs, before you can apply for a new SOWP. You can' t work until you get that work permit.
4. Yes, his/her job must be in NOC A, B or O.
5. You have to check the criteria for the PNP you intend to apply for.

Thanks for the reply.

  1. Regarding Question 1 i forgot to mention that they have added a Employment location as specific in my work permit so should i work outside of that location ?
  2. Also, is it compulsory that my spouse should have a full time job in NOC O,A or B. will part time valid for my work permit extension ?
Any answers would be much appreciated.
