SOWP change in status query

[Snoviel Lopes]

I am hoping if someone could share some information on below situation.

I had PGOWP and my spouse had SOWP.

My PGOWP expired on 22-March-2022 ,and since EE were paused ,we diecided that my Spouse will go for studies and
move on to study permit and i will switch to her dependent work permit.
We applied for visa in March 2022 and got the approvals in Mid of August.
By mid of august 2022 government announced policy to extend work permit for 18 months for which i was eligible.
So based on that we applied for my extension along with SOWP for my spouse
We applied on 22-August-2022 but still no response ,mean while we applied for PR also in Oct 2022.

So now the question is

Can my spouse start working as she had her SOWP ?and now we have applied for her SOWP extension ,she was on maintained status as she had study visa approved.

Any information on above is highly appreciated

You can no longer alternate between spouse being a student and the other one having an OWP. You are only allowed to have the primary applicant study and the secondary applicant get the OWP once. After that the other spouse can study but the spouse no longer qualifies for the OWP. If someone can find this change on the government website I would appreciate this. It looks like someone made an error on your application.
