SOWP holder has to stop working between spouse's graduation and first job?

[yashiharu]

Let say:

2020-09: SP holder (wife) starts enrollment for a 1yr course.
2020-09: (husband) Apply SOWP for the spouse
2020-12: (husband) SOWP approved
2021-01: (husband) SOWP holder arrives
2021-04: (husband) SOWP holder get a FT job
2021-09: (wife) SP holder graduate and apply PGWP right away
2021-12: (wife) SP holder got PGWP
2022-03: (wife) PGWP holder get a FT job
2022-12: (wife) PGWP end.

Question:

1)
Does the SOWP holder (husband) has to stop working from 2021-09 to 2022-03 (6 mths)
and wait until 2022-06 which the PGWP holder has 3 mths payslips to apply SOWP extension?

2)
If so, after all,
husband get only 9 mths working exp.
wife got only 14 mths working Exp.
12mths + 2 mths not enough time for pnp

TRUE?

1. He can work until his permit expires. In order to apply for an OWP based on your PGWP, you must have a skilled job and 3 payslips. If you don't have that by the time his permit is going to expire, he must apply to change his status to visitor.

2. You will need to research the PNP requirements to determine what is required. If immigration is your goal, take a 2+ year program to get a 3 year work permit.

No, there doesn't have to be a break. It all depends on when you get a skilled job. If you get one while still studying and get the 3 payslips, you can apply for a PGWP and spouse OWP together.

There is an online application to change status to visitor. It doesn't require re-entry.

When I am still studying, I am not able to work full time. Or do you mean 3 payslips for a Part-time job?
If so, then I get it, like:
2021-09 apply PGWP (while the SOWP is still valid until 2021-12 which is as same as the SP)
Then SOWP holder will have no employment break (if PGWP and SOWP are both approved before 2021-12)

Thank you very much for your kindness help.

The job can be part-time.

 

[yashiharu]

The job can be part-time.

Merci beaucoup !

 

[yashiharu]

The job can be part-time.

And it has to be a cat 0 A B part-time ?


In short, while studying:
1) keep working part-time in cat 0 a b
2) then you will have 3 mths payslips
then i can apply both PGWP and SOWP together right after graduation
right?

Is this true? Your response may have just saved me a lot of thinking and effort. You are saying, if a study permit holder has a part-time job, once they graduate, they can use 3 pay stubs from that part-time, provided it is in NOC A, B or 0, and apply for PGWP and spouse OWP extension together?
I always thought hose 3 pay slips have to be after you graduate.
