Death of a Spouse Post-ITA

[chuxy12]

Please guys I need your advise on this:

Got an ITA last March, we are still gathering our documentations and my spouse just died during childbirth - baby and mum lost. For the sake of our son and only child, I decided to proceed with the PR application process. My question: I am the principal applicant, but my spouse's scores (education and language) influenced mine. Now, what do I do:
1. Proceed applications and upload her death certificate?
2. Review my scores with the new family conditions? If I do this, my new score will fall below the ITA cut-off.

Thanks for your candid advice.

First of all, sorry to hear about your loss. We had a scare during the birth of our child as well.

I think since your wife, the primary applicant is not around anymore your ITA would not hold valid. You might have to create/update your profile with your new family conditions.

Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, you wont be able to use your spouses score as she is no longer with you. Your score would be recalculated.

The OP is the primary applicant. His wife was accompanying him.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry about your loss. I can only imaging what you are going through, however I pray that the Almighty will strengthen you in this difficult time.

My gut tells me that on humanitarian grounds they wont change your points. However, I doubt anyone here can answer you with any certainty as this is a very unique case. I would advise you to seek legal advice.

All the best

1 & 2. It is a change in personal situation and you should decline ITA if you know it's gonna be lower than the min score of that round. They will re-calculate your score for sure if you tell them the death of your spouse. See below.

What will your new score be? The min. score is getting lower almost every time so you still have a chance. I also recommend you find some ways to improve your score, such as improving your IELTS. Good Luck.

Our IELTS expires coming July. My score was - LIST:8.5, READ:9.0, WRIT:7.5, SPEAK:7.0. With my current frame of mind, I can't assure you of a better score. Like I said, I am doing this for my only child's sake. For my sake, I can let the opportunity slip by.

Thats a good IELTS score, almost maxed.
Whats your score recalculated? Not sure what to do. Rules are clear but you could try to proceed with application and write everything in LOE you are not capable of ging to another IELTS because of the circumstances.

First of all, extremely sorry for your loss and prayers to the Almighty to give you strength and peace to the departed souls.

Since this is a change of composition of family members, the process is straighforward. Your points will be recalculated based on ur points - ECA IELTS and Work Exp.. Please do the recalculation and see if you meet the CRS cut off.. If so proceed with the application..

Wish you all the best.. I hope you get through.. Stay strong..

He said his CRS would be below ITA cut off.


I pray for you.

Firstly, I am exteremely sorry for your loss.

since you don't have spouse medical and PCC it won't be possible to go ahead with this application.

if you had all the docs and you're the primary applicant I don't think there would have been any problem, provided no issues in Documentation.

When your score is recalculated, there will be a chance that your score will be higher since your wife is no longer accompanied. The 40 points for spouse will be given back to you and it will be distributed to other components.

Have you tried to calculate your score as a single person?

 

[timmykz2]

My condolecenses. If you were the primary applicant your scores will actually increase.

 

[DEEPCUR]

Sorry for your loss.

You have good IELTS score. What was your draw's score and what is your score with and without spouse? Unless your spouse has had CLB9 and Master degree, you would more or less be in similar range with single status. Also the scores are hovering in 420 range now.. see if your score would be higher than that.
