I have the following queries regarding my SOWP extensions based on my wife's dependent visa.
My SOWP is expiring on April 15, 2025, due to my passport's expiry date. My wife's studies will be finished in December 2024, and I will move to Canada in the first week of March 2025 to file for an SOWP extension from within Canada as by that time my wife will have 3 paystubs. My wife is pursuing her MBA from UCW, which is a 16-month course, so there are no issues in that regard. However, she will be applying for her PGWP in January 2025. She will be working as a food service supervisor after graduation, which is classified as a NOC 2 job. But it will not be count as a management or professional occupations it seems not sure though.
I have seen the new rules from IRCC that are set to be declared on November 1, 2024 : New IRCC Changes from 1st Nov,2024.
