Hi,
I got my PGWP for 3 years. My wife’s Open work permit is expiring soon. How can I renew her without me having a job in class A or Class B. Is there any other dependent visa to apply for ?

Thanks in advance !

No you need a job in NOC 0, A or B plus 3 pay stubs. Other option is that you wife gets a job offer, the employer applies for an LMIA and then she applies for a closed work permit.

If you don't have a skilled job, she needs to apply to change her status to visitor.
