There is no way you can convert close to open work permit. However, you can legally stay in Canada till your work permit expires and you can try to find a new job with LMIA. That being said, you can’t legally claim job offer points at this moment because you have to submit a letter from your current employer saying they will keep you on a job for a year after you have your PR. But if you get a new job with LMIA then you can claim points.
You are not eligible for job offer points as per rules employer give you a new job offer for one year after becoming PR.
If this is the case, you can’t convert your visa to open since your spouse is on spousal open work permit.
If your Work Permit is valid till March 2025, you can legally stay in Canada but cannot work as per rule.
Is your spouse came to Canada as your dependant?
You still have chances in stem category with 488
