Hello,

I am working in Canada on an ICT work permit and its been only 3 months since we moved from US.
My spouse was working in US too, but is not working here. When we calculated the CRS points, the points are more when she is made the primary applicant and more possibility in getting an ITA. Some questions:
a) She is a secondary school teacher(we are already in the process of getting her provincial teaching certificate) and I am a software engineer, I have a job here and she doesn't. So, is it fine to apply with her as the primary ? And, we are not putting that I have a "job offer" since there are some rules for ICT applicants before completing an year.
b) If (a) is true, and if we do get an ITA, do we need some justification/documents on why and how we are here?
c) Do we need to show the proof of funds separately for each applicant or can it be shown with one?
d) It looks like we need the police certificates from all the other countries that we lived in the past? does this apply to all the applicants including the children?
And it says other than Canada. Is that right?
e) For FBI police certification, I saw some threads in the forum, but I didn't get clarity on how to get the fingerprints done (and where?)?

Thanks,
Appreciate your help!

Yes its fine for your spouse to be the PA.
b) If (a) is true, and if we do get an ITA, do we need some justification/documents on why and how we are here?
They may ask for it at a later stage.
c) Do we need to show the proof of funds separately for each applicant or can it be shown with one?
As one
d) It looks like we need the police certificates from all the other countries that we lived in the past? does this apply to all the applicants including the children?
And it says other than Canada. Is that right?
All countries where you have stayed for more than 6 months in a row in last 10 years. PCC required only for adults.
e) For FBI police certification, I saw some threads in the forum, but I didn't get clarity on how to get the fingerprints done (and where?)?
You can try some private agencies. If you were in US, you can get it done at the police station in your area.
Thanks,

Thanks Maverick!
About the PCC. I have now and in the past lived in Canada. And it's more than 6 months. I kind of remember reading that PCC from all the countries other than Canada. But, from your response, it seems I need to get PCC from Canada as well. Is that right?
