Hello,
my wife is currently applying for a PhD in some universities in Montreal and I would like to know if this allows me to apply for an open work permit for the duration of her studies. The Canadian government page tells me the following:
Who can get a work permit as spouse or common-law partner of a student?
Your spouse or common-law partner may apply for an open work permit if you:
are a full-time student at a:
public post-secondary school, such as a college or university, or CEGEP in Quebec
private college-level school in Quebec or
Canadian private school that can legally award degrees under provincial law (for example, Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate degree) and
However, I can't seem to find what are the institutions that fit into that. A local agency has told me that, depending on the institution in which the doctorate is being taken, it's not possible for a spouse to apply for a work permit.

As long as the institute she gets admission from has a designated learning institute (DLI) code she can get a student visa, and as a dependent you can get a spousal open work permit.

Yes, Any "application" to any "government department" throughout the world will have a risk of refusal!! That's how beaurucracy works! I think the OP is well aware of this rule and s/he is asking if s/he is eligible for an SOWP..

Many SOWP for spouses of international students are refused. Because it says you can apply people assume that almost all are approved. It is a common misconception and so many are shocked when they get refused.

Yes you can only when she will apply for PHD to write that you will be with her dont do when she will cane in Montreal and after she will request the SOWP because that time is very hard to take that.
Good luck
