My wife applied for her bowp last april 3, 2025. However her pgwp will expire on september 12, 2025. The date in her maintained status letter indicates that she can work until sept. 29, 2025 or until decision is made. My owp will also expire on sept 12. Considering the new policy in january for sowp, can i still apply for new work permit even if her bowp is still in progress? I am worried about the 6 months and longer work validity of the Principal applicant as part of the requirement to apply for work permit. Is anyone in the same situation? Can you share your thoughts or experience? Thanks.

If she is in an eligible NOC but given her permit expires on September 12, IRCC doesn't process WPs that are expiring within 6 months.
 
But once he get her BOWP approval before Sept 12 then I can aply for Work permit considering that bowp validity is 2 years?
