1. He can work until his permit expires. In order to apply for an OWP based on your PGWP, you must have a skilled job and 3 payslips. If you don't have that by the time his permit is going to expire, he must apply to change his status to visitor.
2. You will need to research the PNP requirements to determine what is required. If immigration is your goal, take a 2+ year program to get a 3 year work permit.

No, there doesn't have to be a break. It all depends on when you get a skilled job. If you get one while still studying and get the 3 payslips, you can apply for a PGWP and spouse OWP together.
There is an online application to change status to visitor. It doesn't require re-entry.

When I am still studying, I am not able to work full time. Or do you mean 3 payslips for a Part-time job?
If so, then I get it, like:
2021-09 apply PGWP (while the SOWP is still valid until 2021-12 which is as same as the SP)
Then SOWP holder will have no employment break (if PGWP and SOWP are both approved before 2021-12)

In short, while studying:
1) keep working part-time in cat 0 a b
2) then you will have 3 mths payslips
then i can apply both PGWP and SOWP together right after graduation
right?

Is this true? Your response may have just saved me a lot of thinking and effort. You are saying, if a study permit holder has a part-time job, once they graduate, they can use 3 pay stubs from that part-time, provided it is in NOC A, B or 0, and apply for PGWP and spouse OWP extension together?
I always thought hose 3 pay slips have to be after you graduate.
