So sorry to hear your news but I have been on the immigration website and found this link. It appears that as long as OH finds another job he can apply for another work permit. I know a friend of mine says they are always very helpful on the phone so it might pay to give them a call. Keep your chin up and let us know your progress. Keeping my fingers crossed for you :thumbsup:
