I applied spouse non accompanying and the reason I mentioned is CRS points. My spouse and I are both in Canada . I got my PR in Aug 2023 and then sponsored my spouse whose application is in progress

Same here (in 2021) and my spouse got it too a few months later with no issues whatsoever.

Hi,
i couldn'f find a thread related to this anywhere
My Husband and myself are in Canada. M on PGWP and spouse is on SOWP. While filing EE, my score drops when adding him. Is it possible that i can apply first for CEC EE and then sponsor him?
also what would be a valid reason that i can mention for stating my spouse is not accompanying.
I am worried since he is already in Canada.

I appreciate if anyone could give an advice
Thank You
did this work out? I am also going through the same situation.

I have got an ITA in agriculture draw 437 was the cutoff. My wife is here in Canada with me. should I include her in the profile as I had not included her in the first place and my score was 479 and if I add her after the ITA the score will drop to 447. But she doesn't have an ECA or IELTS. So should I include her or not?

Two things:
1. If you never listed her as even non-accompanying - you can't add her.
2. If you listed her as non-accompanying - listing her as accompanying would re-evaluate your eligibility and at 447 you'll still meet the cutoff and be issued a PR. You can add her in that case.

A word though, don't game the system by switching between accompanying and non-accompanying. This is unethical and disrespectful to those who play by the rules.
