Is it easier or harder to apply for express entry without a spouse?

Hi!!!

I was thinking about appliying for the express entry process as international student. I have a fiance and he wants to come with me to Canada. I wanna know what it's the easiest way. Should I apply alone first and then sponsor his visa, or apply as a married couple?

Applying as a married couple could be easier, it will reduce the combined PR time. But you would need following documents:
1. Spouse IELTS
2. Spouse education assessment
3. Marriage Certificate
4. Spouse PCC
