Hello everyone,


I received an Express Entry ITA with a CRS score of 490 (draw cutoff 475). At the time of receiving my ITA, my husband was declared non-accompanying.


I am still within my 60-day submission period (52 days left). I now want to change him to accompanying.


He has not taken IELTS yet, but plans to take it before I submit my eAPR. Based on my calculation, my recalculated CRS would be 477, which is still above the draw cutoff.


Has anyone successfully changed a previously non-accompanying spouse to accompanying after ITA and used the spouse's IELTS taken after the ITA? Did IRCC accept it?

The little bit of information you left out was , why all of sudden is he now accompanying ?

Sounds like you purposefully left him out because you thought by having him your score would be below the cutoff point . Then when you got invited you decided to now put him as accompanying

You seriously don’t think the IRCC will see how you’re attempting to manipulate things ?
If you do get to Canada , this is a high trust country ,don’t try this fuckery when or if you get here
This just adds to why some Canadians opinions on immigration is in the toilet

He should have already taken his IELTS if you wanted go include him as accompanying and wanted his IELTS score counted towards ITA cut-off.
