since u were not the applicant last time, in my view u can apply as skilled worker without any problem. i think it will be better if ur spouse withdaws application. seniors can advise u in a better way perhaps.
thank you for your replies
My spouse that has applied in 2007 is Mechanical engineer and i graduated in software engineering also i am managing director in softwaer developing company.
So are you sure that it's not forbidden to applye at same time by principle applicant and his spouse.
I do not know if there is any retriction to be processed both the spouses' applications simulteneously. I think there should not be any restriction.
If your husband's occupation is not under 38 NOC, you may apply if you are in 38 NOC. think a little bit and decide which will be processed faster.
Pls. tell cic that you have an application pending in their office if you apply again. Do not hide anything.
Remember your husband's application will be processed, although with a delay.
Good luck
