Possibly. A spouse or partner of a PGWP holder may qualify for a spousal open work permit, but recent rules have narrowed this and depend on factors such as your occupation and remaining work authorisation.
The rules for spousal open work permits have tightened in recent years. A spouse or common-law partner of a PGWP holder may still qualify, but eligibility now depends on conditions such as the PGWP holder working in certain occupation categories and having a minimum amount of work authorisation remaining when the spouse applies.
The PGWP holder generally also needs to be living and working in Canada with valid status. Because these requirements have changed and can affect whether your partner qualifies, check the current criteria carefully before your spouse applies rather than assuming automatic eligibility.
