Can my spouse also get an open work permit while I hold a Bridging Open Work Permit?

If you hold a valid work permit, your spouse or common-law partner may be eligible for their own open work permit under IRCC's family-member provisions, and dependent children may be eligible to study. The validity dates of a spouse's open work permit are normally aligned to match the principal applicant's permit. Eligibility depends on your occupation and the specific rules in effect, so the spouse's application should be assessed against current IRCC criteria rather than assumed.
