Can I add my spouse aftrer Notification of Interest (NOI) ?

[Grinton]

Ontario sent me a NOI this January (tech stream). My CRS score was 465 and I didn't add my spouse because the cut off score is too high nowadays. With my spouse, the CRS would be 461 - which is still more than the required score for the OINP this January ("OINP targeted candidates with a CRS between 460 and 472").

Now, obviously, if I can get 600 points it makes sense to add my spouse, however, is this allowed? Can I edit my Express Entry profile and add her to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee as well?

Thank you very much

Your spouse is currently listed as non-accompanying, yes?

Correct, she is listed as not-accompanying on my EE profile.

I am in the same boat - want to edit my EE profile after receiving an NOI (education section) and don't know whether it can negatively affect my application and whether a letter of explanation is required for any changes. Any advice?
