Hi All,

I had applied to express entry program through CEC category in February 2016. At that time I also got OINP invitation in February 2016. I had submitted my OINP interest and now my OINP nomination is about to come.
Once my OINP nomination comes, I assume my score in Express entry automatically will increase with 600 more points.
Query:
I will be getting married in July 2017. If I accept Express entry invitation, most probably I will get PR before July 2017.
1. If I sponsor my wife post July 2017 , will it take 12-18 more months for her to join me at Canada?
2. Can I apply for dependent visa for my wife post July 2017 as I have valid VISA till November 2018? (Note that on July I will get PR)
3. Is there any way I can hold OINP nomination or express entry application till July 2017?

Appreciate your response.
Regards,
Vikas
