My Express Entry brother, who is married, is looking at the pros and cons of coming to Canada unaccompanied by his spouse in the short-term.
The reason for that is that his points jump up significantly if he is married, but not accompanied by his spouse.
The questions that follow in this scenario are
a) In order to do this, does he need to create a new Express Entry profile or just update his current EE profile?
b) If he were to update his existing EE profile, the change will likely be visible. Will that count against him when assessing his points or at a later stage?
Assuming that he can do the above and get Canadian PR, the plan is for him to get a job and a house and then sponsor his spouse over (currently no children are involved).
c) Is there a time limit as regards applying for a spouse sponsorship visa?
d) When/after how much time can a spouse visa be converted into a PR for my sister-in-law?
e) Would a spouse sponsorship have an impact (or act as a limitation) if my brother wishes to sponsor our parents?
f) What is the timeframe for a sponsored spouse (in this case, my sister-in-law) to acquire Canadian citizenship?
