I am planning to study in Canada next year and my wife is planning on joining me with spouse open work permit. She is now working as a registered nurse in our home country and we are wondering if she will be able to continue working as a nurse with the spouse open work permit? We are aware of the requirement to register as RN/ LPN with the province but we want to make sure if the spouse open work permit will prohibit her to work in the healthcare industry.

By default the spousal open work permit will not allow her to work in healthcare related industries. She will need to get a medical done and then apply to remove the healthcare restriction from her work permit. So yes, totally doable with an extra step.
