You will get a lot of deduction for CRS points due to age but if you have something like PHd and get CLB 10 in ielts along with your spouse then you will max the points in other categories. Try the online calculator to see what you get and if you are around 440 or thereabouts, maybe you can get direct ITA. Otherwise you can try different PNP routes too but would be to be proactive for that as they come and go within hours.
