My husband came to Canada on a closed work permit, and I came on an open work permit. Our daughter is here on a study permit. My husband's Express Entry profile expired and needs to be recreated. My question is: Can my husband create a new Express Entry profile without including me and our daughter so that he can get more points? If yes, are there any repercussions or consequences of not including us in his profile?

He can try but if you are in Canada he is likely going to have to justify why you should be considered as non-accompanying. His points can be reassessed with you as accompanying. If you leave Canada no issue being listed as non-accompanying.
While people still do this, this is fraud in plain sight. Simply not keeping someone accompanying to game the CRS system is robbing deserving candidates of their chance to a PR. There was a case where a PFL was issued for doing this very recently.
IRCC is clearly cracking down on this so what once used to be possible (although shouldn’t have been) should no longer be counted on. At the worst you can expect a PFL and points reassessment but at the worst this could be considered misrepresentation. Given how difficult it is to obtain PR these days things like a period of family separation period may be necessary in order to ensure you secure PR depending on your score.
It's totally up to you how you declare your spouse and dependants as accompanying or non-accompanying. There's no really issue with that and it may not even trigger any questions from IRCC. The only difference that an applicant will have to sponsor them later if that's okay.
Accompanying or non-accompanying doesn't mean that they have to be physically with you or not, it means that you include them in your application to immigarte with you.

Would disagree that stating that you are non-accompanying while being in Canada often on an SOWP represents reality. Many did manage to list their spouses who were with them in Canada as non-accompanying in the past because it gave them a higher score while getting PR became much more competitive. Like many things IRCC overlooked people listing their spouses who were in Canada with them as non-accompanying. If questioned IRCC even allowed applicants to be honest and state that they listed their spouses as non-accompanying purely to increase their CRS score even when they were living together in Canada often on an SOWP and in some instances while applying for an SOWP extension. Many who were trying to be honest were getting lower scores and there was no consistency. IRCC is cracking down on all methods of trying to manipulate your CRS score including listing your spouse as non-accompanying. In the past few weeks I have seen many posting about receiving PFLs (or lawyers/consultants posting about their clients receiving PFLs) and most VOs are not accepting listing spouse as non-accompanying while in Canada without a genuine reason other than points. If you would not have secured an invitation if your score was reassessed and you don’t have a good reason why your spouse is non-accompanying while having lived with your in Canada on an SOWP then you’re taking a risk these days.
Hey Everyone, Please help me with this query.
I have an ongoing application for Non-express entry and a profile for express entry. I recently got married and my wife is already a PR and is working towards her application for citizenship. I informed IRCC regarding the change in my martial status. However, I am confused as to add her as accompanying or non-accompanying because she is already a PR but will be staying with me from now onwards in Canada.
PS - I am on a work permit in Canada
Thanks for any insights

Non-accompanying. Accompanying doesn't mean physically with you, it means if you include her in your application as an applicant for PR or not.
I cannot agree either, sorry. Accompanying doesn't mean physically with you, living with you or going with you, it means if you include someone in your application as an applicant for PR or not. That's all. And it's your decision and the one you want to add.
Here is the definition of IRCC:
A spouse, common-law partner, dependent child or dependent child of a dependent child (grandchild), who plans to immigrate to Canada with the principal applicant. Accompanying family members are included on the application.
Hello
I received a message that I am ineligible for express entry. However, there is an option to recreate the profile . Do I have to create the new profile within the same account or do I have to entirely delete my GCKey account ?. If deleting the entire account ,it might result in me losing my other visa approval information ,I don’t know what to do . Can anyone help .
