Spouse sponsorship in view

[ChrisBanks]

Hi everyone, I need your ideas please.

I'm on PGWP till May 2019. My spouse is back home but we already applied for the SOWP hoping she will be here in Canada by Feb 2018.

I included her in my paper pnp pr application in Nov 2017 but no aor yet. I saw online that the processing time is now 18months (this is risky cos my pgwp expires in May 2019).

When she arrives here early next year, I would like to apply for the express entry but won't include her since my point is gonna drop. When I get my PR, I can then sponsor her.

Should I wait for the pnp PR or apply for the express entry?

What's your take on this? Advice please

You're posting in the wrong section of the forum. You should post your question to the Express Entry section.

However the short answer is that if your wife is in Canada on a SOWP, you will most likely have to include her in your application as accompanying. CIC will not let you include her as non-accompanying since she is already in Canada and it will be clear she wants to live here permanently. So you should plan that you will have to include her as accompanying in your EE application.
