Additionally, my client's spouse was issued a 2-year open work permit based on my client's 2-year [requester], my client now works in a Teer 2 job, and with the new regulations introduced last year, their spouse is no longer eligible for an open work permit in this role, Given that my client's work permit was approved before the implementation of these new rules, could you kindly clarify if their spouse would be exempt and eligible to apply for the remaining 1 year of the work permit? Thank you very much for your time and assistance. Look forward to your response.
