Amen, brother.
The only concern though is how you will provide reference letters for the last 1 year since she hasn't worked since then.

She worked for the same place for 14 years before deciding to give up work and become a full time mum. I presume all she needs is a reference letter from her old employer to say that. Given it covers over 8 years out of the last 10 I am assuming that it will be all they need. The last 'gap' of 18 months shouldn't be a problem. We can cover that off in our letter of explanation.
I hope I'm correct here?
I am at 410 hoping to move to 418 after spouse's ECA. But then next birthday is on 30th of Sept.
I always hope for the best and it will surely happen sooner than expected.

You are absolutely right..!
I myself am jobless at the moment from last 1and half year with no plan to start one any time soon.
More over in EE maximum 3 year of foreign experience in past 10 years get you maximum marks.
I vote in favour of you switching PA and land soon and save the 1500 dollar for the Timmy's feast.
Shaun I have to let you know I love the way you write. And of course your jokes. Keep it up
@shaun75
I agree to the view that pa needn't work...I read Andie's reply too...
However,as the fsw EE program falls under economic class & is intended to allow working class to immigrate,the underlying basis /understanding would be that the primary applicant seek PR with an intent to pursue a career...that is why it is strictly based on specific list of NOCs etc...in such a scenario,explicitly stating the PA will remain a full time mum defeats the program objective & hence,the case officer may decline (may) saying the PAs intention is not fulfilling the program objective / and ask you to be the PA...
so,I suggest that you write an LoE & explain she wishes to take care of ur baby for some more time / till you settle down there and thereafter intends to scout for job...whether PA tries for a job or not is not a concern for cic once You are landed...u can stick to ur original plan of her staying back as a full time mum only...
so,this 18 months break also can be explained as a maternity break,rather than with a concrete plan for future...at least don't state it in ur letters..
If I am the case officer,I will find the PAs objective contradicts the program objective and being a very considerate person,I will politely decline asking you to reapply with you being the PA..

at least take a second opinion on this

I don't think that LOE is necessary.

is there an yearly quota of ITAs to be issued? just wondering because almost 60K ITAs have already been issued.
when I meant LoE I meant,
as the primary applicant hasn't been working for last 18 months,she can submit a letter explaining that she took a maternity break to take care of the baby...however @shaun75 need not explicitly state their intention of pa staying back as a full time mum...if that is said,that 'may' adversely affect the decision of their pr..
once they are granted pr,who is bothered if they work or not...
I myself have been thinking of seeing Canada for an year,flying back to Middle East desert to make some tax free quick buck in 2nd &3rd year and continue in Canada thereafter...
just saying...,cic isn't bothered about it ...if in 5 years at least 2 years we don't reside,our pr gets cancelled..that's it...

Just check few pages back and you will find some calculations there. Otherwise life is too short to worry about everything.

That would be an awesome Timmy's feast. Endless supply of TimBits
Interesting. I've never really read it that way, but as you point out the EE program is under economic class. Probably best not to give them a reason to refuse unnecessarily. It's our intention that she will not work, but who knows, she might get fed up looking after the kids and decide she wants her career back. She was an excellent IT PM and she could easily go back. So maybe we don't lie, but don't push the 'economic class' thing too far either.
I on the other hand could look after the kids and take them to Timmy's every day. That would be a great life!
