Adding spouse after ITA

My question is, can I still increase my score after ITA, or my score will only be calculated based on the elements before I get my ITA?

I'm married and I know I can apply first as spouse non-accompanying and change my status to spouse accompanying after I receive an ITA. My score will be recalculated and in order for me to proceed, my score with spouse must be above the cut-off of the draw when I get my ITA.

I ask the question because I'm fairly confident to get ITA alone soon but I'm not sure my score will be above the cut-off after I add my spouse. If I can still increase my score after ITA, I'll take French exams to further boost my score. If not, I guess I can only apply alone and sponsor my spouse after I land in Canada or take risks and wait for CRS to decline.
