I searched for this but could not get a good answer.
I am a PNP candidate awaiting a PR. Assuming i get a PR soon I was planning ahead on the landing. I am the primary applicant and have 3 dependents in my PR application.
I am nominated by SK and intend to settle there. Once i get the PR there are a few scenarios that could play out:

1. I land alone in Toronto airport and proceed to either Saskatoon or Regina in SK by connecting flight. I stay in Saskatoon for a month or so and get an appropriate job (money, industry, seniority etc). Then I go back to my country, wrap up my affairs and along with my family return back to Saskatoon and settle down. All is clear in this situation.

2. I land alone in Toronto airport and proceed to either Saskatoon or Regina in SK by connecting flight. I stay in Saskatoon for a month or two and find that getting an appropriate job (money, industry, seniority etc) is impossible or very difficult in SK. I try for jobs elsewhere in Canada and am successful in some other province X.
I accept the job offer and then go back to my country, wrap up my affairs and along with my family return to Province X via Toronto. Would this be a problem for me and my family members at the time of landing?

Your dependent can certainly land later. You just have to make sure they land before the expiry date on their visas.

Hello Everyone,

I have 417 points. got an invitation(ITA) on apr 19th and lowest crs score on the day is 415.
Submitted my application on may 7th
medical pass on june 7th.

Plan 1:
I am planning to get married in next 2 months. Once i have marriage certificate, if i link my wife application, will they recalculate my points??

or

Plan 2:

Should i wait until i got my PR and then apply through spouse sponsorship program? If i apply, since processing time is almost 9-12 months. should i able apply work permit for spouse? She already have visiting visa to canada.

Or someone please suggest me any better plan.

-Thanks
You need to post your questions to the Express Entry section of the forum.

Hi Scylla. I do understand that family can land later. My question was specific to the 2nd scenario i outlined. It involves a change of landing province in the presence of a PNP nomination for the primary applicant. Any opinion on that?
