Express entry visa explanation

[Ahmed Hamdy]

Hi everyone,
I need your advice,
It's known that if you apply as a single, your points will be higher. In my case my wife won't add points to me and my points as a single or married without accompanying my spouse will be higher so if I applied as a married and chose that my wife won't come with me, will I be able to bring her later?

Yes - you can bring her later if you list her as non-accompanying. You'll need to sponsor her once you are a PR. Assume this process will take around a year to complete and you will have to live separately for most of it (because you must be living in Canada to sponsor her and she most likely will not qualify for a TRV).
