Yes you add her as dependant /spouse in your PR application. There is no such requirement for your spouse. You are good to go.

Second that. Go ahead and file her application as a dependent.

Thanks for your response!.

couple more questions,
- if i add my spouse as dependent applicant will she get PR status as when i get?
- in this case, is it necessary for my spouse to complete language test (IELTS) and submit the proof or is it not required?
