Spouse PR & Work Permit

[Himadri]

Hi,

My wife is getting better score than me. Could you please confirm if my wife apply for the Canada PR through express entry & includes me as spouse, will both of us get the PR or only my wife as main applicant will get PR & I will get dependent visa?

Also will I be able to work in Canada if I am not the main applicant or do I have to apply separately for work permit? Please confirm.

If your wife will put you as accompanying than yes you both will Get PR and it doesn't matter for employer if you were only accompanying person, he/she will care if you are PR and can work legally in Canada.
