“accompanying spouse or common-law partner”, in respect of a foreign national, means the foreign national’s spouse or common-law partner who is accompanying him or her to Canada and who is not a Canadian Citizen or a permanent resident.””

Since your wife is already a Canadian permanent resident, the situation is different from having a spouse who is applying for PR with you.

Under IRCC’s current Express Entry instructions, an “accompanying spouse or common-law partner” is a spouse who is accompanying the applicant and who is NOT a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Therefore, if your wife is already a Canadian PR, she would not be considered an accompanying spouse for your Express Entry application.

You should still declare your marriage and provide the required information about your spouse. Also, IRCC’s CRS criteria specifically state that you earn points as if you don’t have a spouse/partner when your spouse is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

I would avoid choosing an option simply based on what gives you a higher CRS score. Make sure the information matches your actual marital and family situation to avoid inconsistencies.

You can also check your estimated CRS score using this [CRS calculator](https://crscalcu.ca/).

For the exact wording and current rules, always check IRCC’s official instructions before submitting your profile.
