1. If your PGWP expires in June 2024 then you can work.
2. How are you eligible for SOWP?

My wife is pr and I applied for inland spousal sponsorship application. My wife as sponsor got aor. So I can work even after the expiry of my pgwp if my sowp application is in progress

 

[NITHISH KUMAR VIL KUMAR]

So I can work right?

But you posted that your PGWP expires in June 2024 so this is not an issue.

My only concern is I am about to apply sowp and what if the application won’t approve before my pgwp expiry. So in that case if my sowp application is in progress even after the pgwp expiry. Am I allowed to work?

No. You cannot work without a valid work permit.

You can consider flagpoling.

They are not applying for SOWP. OP wants to apply for OWP for inland spousal sponsorship.
I just read another couple (PA being American) was told by CBSA at the border to NOT apply for OWP via flagpoling. They need to do that online instead.

I can't find that post... If I find it, I will post the link here.

Thank you. Can I work while open work permit application is in progress. As my post graduation work permit expires on June 2024. If my open work permit doesn’t approve by that time.

Wrong section of the forum. Post to their foreign workers section.
