Hello,

I'm applying through express entry CEC, my spouse is a PR. When I select spouse in "Relatives in Canada" section I'm not getting additional 15 points.

Will there be no points for spouse PR?
Note: I selected "NO" to question - Does your spouse accompanying you to Canada as she is PR already

Thanks

You don’t get points for spouse. She is PR so can sponsor you.

You can only get the 15 points for having a sibling in Canada. No points of any kind for having a spouse in Canada (this includes their education, language abilities, etc.).
