Greetings everyone,

If someone could help me with some info on extending spouse's work permit.

My spouse and I live in Canada for about two years. I am a study permit holder and she is an open work permit holder. Since her passport expire date is shorter than mine, she got her OWP respecting the dates of her passport expire date. Her WP is 2 years shorter than my SP. She will be renewing her passport and applying for an OWP extension. Because everything has changed in the past two years, do I need to be working on a NOC 0, A or B occupation as a student in order to extend her work permit or is this new rule just for PGWP holders?

This is not a new rule. The rule is just for PGWP holders. Doesn't apply to your spouse since you are still a student.
