Hello experts

My and my spouse are on work permit in Canada. I have created a profile in express entry with spouse non-accompanying in Express Entry due to lower CRS if we apply together. Is it going to be a problem? I heard i will have to get the medical and PCC done even if the spouse is non-accompanying which makes no sense.
Now i have received NOI, can i update my EE profile to spouse accompanying after receiving the 600 nomination points? Will that be a problem ?

Thanks for your time

mate....

Let me give you a simple suggestion.
Your peace of mind worth more than gold
I suggest you just apply for yourself if you really worry that much.
You can always sponsor your spouse later on.

For your PEACE OF MIND and mental health.

Yes, you spouse needs to get a medical done and also provide PCCs whether your spouse is accompanying or non accompanying. This makes perfect sense if you understand immigration rules. All of your dependents need to be admissible to Canada in order for you to get PR regardless of whether they are accompanying or non accompanying.

We have to submit the medical for spouse in EE profile after ITA? My spouse did the medical 6 months ago when she applied for the work permit, can we use that medical exam or have to get a new one?
