Employ my wife in my business

[Abdelilah]

Hello,

I'm a 33 years and I want to apply for Express entry including my wife, while I'm employed I do own a small business in my field of work my NOC is 2281, my wife has only high school education and I want to boost my chances, will it count if I employ my wife in my business ( in a NOC 2281) knowing that she does not have a degree ( a part from high school diploma but I think it's not recognised by Canada), and will it count if it is only for 6 months ? Thank you in advance.

Please help, I just want to know if this will count or not, the fact that my wife work as a qualified worker but without a post high school degree ? thank you.

How is hiring your wife going to boost your chances? No points are granted for your spouse's foreign work experience.

I mean if I employ my wife as a NOC 2281 which same as mine will it be okay ? in the CRS foreign work experience as 2281 does give points how come that it can't offer points to my wife ?

I mean I could find her a job in a job category A or B, but will count since she does not have a post high school education, will it still count ?

Only the primary applicant can claim points for foreign work experience, the dependent (your spouse) cannot claim any points.

It is pointless for you to hire her.

Thank for you answers, so a part from the language tests and PNP, how can I boost my chances from my wife side knowing that she only has a high school education and that she does not have a high language proficiency ? also her high school diploma is from Morocco and I doubt it will be recognised in Canada, she is 29 yo, thank you in advance.

Unless she wants to go back to school and get a college degree, your best best to raise your score is exactly what you just said: Re-take and score higher on the language test or get a provincial nomination (PNP).

Or if she has a sibling who is citizen or PR in Canada she can claim 15 points.
