Question:
My Client applied for study permit extension in July 2024 and the application is still in progress. She also added her
spouse as dependent to extend his work permit.
Now, in Dec 2024 she completed her studies and is eligible to apply Post graduate work permit and we are submitting
application for the same. She will not be able to get authorization to work as she is on maintained status as of now. My
question is what should be done for the spouse in such scenario. She will not be able to work and clear the employment
requirements for spousal extension.
If there existing extension application gets refused as study has already been completed . What are the options for
spouse. Will he be able to get grace restoration period as his original permit expired on 30 September 2024 and is
waiting for extension application result.
‘Answer:
Please note that this service provides guidance and not case-specific advice.
A spouse may continue to work according to 2 186(u) until a decision is made on an application made by them under
subsection 204(1), if they have remained in Canada after the expiry of their work permit and they have continued to comply
with the conditions set out on the expired work permit, other than the expiry date.

Dear [requester] of the day!
Ihave a query related to a particular scenario.
My Client applied for study permit extension in July 2024 and the application is stil in progress. She also added her
spouse as dependent to extend his work permit.
Now, in Dec 2024 she completed her studies and is eligible to apply Post graduate work permit and we are submitting
application for the same. She will not be able to get authorization to work as she is on maintained status as of now. My
question is what should be done for the spouse in such scenario. She will not be able to work and clear the employment
requirements for spousal extension.
If there existing extension application gets refused as study has already been completed . What are the options for
spouse. Will he be able to get grace restoration period as his original permit expired on 30 September 2024 and is
waiting for extension application result.
Any insight on above will be helpful
