Hi. I came to Canada on SOWP and currently working in Canada and I have an LMIA Exempt job offer (my spouse is here due to intra company transfer). IRCC website says that his work permit can be renewed for a maximum of 5 years after which he has to leave the country. We have finished 4 years out of the 5 years. Therefore, I'm looking at options to stay back and continue working in Canada. What are my options? Can I apply to convert my SOWP to any other permit as I still have more than 6 months of SOWP left?

You cannot convert it. You need to find an employer who would be ready to apply for LMIA.
