Ray of Hope - 89th Draw

Hello everyone,
I am seeking help from you all. I planned to apply with my wife as primary applicant (total 463 points). If I apply as primary I make 451 points, which is ok too, but does not give us enough buffer in case the cut off rises. We have all the documentation ready except the work experience letter(s)
My wife had worked in 3 different positions in an organization in India for a total duration of 4.5 years. Her roles and responsibilities (for all 3 positions and entire 4.5 years) align 90% with the main duties mentioned under NOC code 6221 (which is skill level type B), and hence gives us the required minimum of 3 years of experience under any NOC code.
Her job titles though align with NOC code 6221 (which is skill level type B) for 2 years of experience & NOC code 0601 (which is skill level type 0) for 2.5 years of experience (note that the title was misleading as she was never in management but her title of Sales Manager makes one believe that she was performing management function. None of the responsibilities under 0601 were performed by my wife)
As you can see if they judge on the basis of job title only, my wife does not have minimum 3 years of work experience under any one NOC code or any skill level type.

Q.1 Does CIC decide NOC codes based on job title or main duties? Or both?
Q.2 given our situation, one option would be to write a letter of explanation regarding this, but would that be worth taking a chance?
Q.3 Should I simply apply as myself as primary applicant and avoid all this at the expense of a lower CRS score of 451 (last cut off was 441)
Any other thoughts/inputs would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Simple.
Both of you can have a separate EE profile stating each other as a dependant. If only one of you will get ITA you will go with that person. If both of you gets ITA you can choose one and then the second one will reject his or hers and delete the profile.
But it looks that 450+ will be enough to get an ITA latest within 1 month (which is fast enough)

You will easily get an ITA as soon as you increase your writing score even by half a point but a piece of advice, writing is the most difficult section to improve. Increasing every point requires lot of effort. Good luck!

Rescoring boosted my writing by 1 point. I leapfrogged from 6.5 to 7.5.
