Re: Probably been asked before Spouse open working visa
She can certainly accompany you, whether she can work or not will depend on what your job is though.

Re: Probably been asked before Spouse open working visa
OK which Province will depend on if she is eligible for SOWP as a truck driver is skill level C on the NOC and usually SOWPs are given in the skill levels 0, A or B levels. Those destined to Alberta are eligible

Either she finds an employer that gets a LMO for her or she has to wait until you all got PR. Or if she is under 30 she could apply for an IEC visa.

Re: Probably been asked before Spouse open working visa
Spouses of Provincial Nominees are entitled to an open work permit regardless of the skill level of the principal applicant(http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resourc.../op07b-eng.pdf OP 7b page 10). So you'd have to work at least 6 months and then apply for the SINP. Processing times are about 3 months.
