Spouse open work permit refusal. What next?

If you search on the official Canadian website, you'll see which institutions are eligible for PGWP. Only those will allow you to get an OWP for your spouse and a PGWP after finishing your studies. OMNI College doesn't seem to be one.

Thank you for the information. My husband & I took our chances because we have a close friend who was able to bring with her her common-law partner when she studied in OMNI College a few years ago. Maybe the VO reviewing their SP & OWP applications missed to see this restriction before.
I don't think they'd miss information like this. Maybe the college status changed in those years.
This is the reason for refusal of my SOWP’ Spouses and common-law partners of full-time students in a program at some institutions in Canada can apply for a generic (open) work permit. However, the institution your spouse or common-law partner is attending is not an institution that is qualified under this category.
