Ifa client has changed their Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and applied for a new study permit, will their spouse still be
eligible for an extension of their open work permit if the new program is not a graduate or professional degree program?
Specifically, does the change in program level impact the spouse's continued eligibility for an SOWP?
| appreciate your guidance on this matter.
