I have an OPW which is going to expire in January 30,2020. My question is if I apply now for the visitor visa (because my wife has not found a NOC job 0, A or B,) immediately my OPW is canceled or I can still work till that one expires? Or it is better that I change my status one week before my OPW expire. I came here as a spouse of a international student.THX

You can work until your OWP expires regardless of when you apply to change your status to visitor.
