Hi all,

I attended a college in 2016-2017 and got my PGWP from 2017 to early 2020.
During this time, my wife got her Spouse Open Work Permit.
Now, my PGWP visa is about to expire in March and I still didn't get enough score to receive an ITA.

In order to continue living in Canada, I was wondering if I could simply switch our situation:
My wife would apply for a college now and I could receive a Spouse Open Work Permit. Is this actually possible?

Thank you so much for your help!

Sure you can try that but no guarantees.
