Spouse's work experience for EE PR application

[fc123]

Hi all, I've seen multiple times on this forum that people say it is fine to remove spouse's foreign work experience from 'Work History' as long as it is mentioned in 'Personal History', as it doesn't add any points.

This would definitely be easier than getting employment references from my spouse's employers - but just want to check as I can't find any kind of official source for this anywhere. How do we know that this is ok? The work history question specifically asks if they have work history - not specified as relevant or Canadian work history.

Surely to answer that as 'no' when they do have work history is incorrect? My question is - can anyone verify that this is ok to do? Has anyone removed their spouse's work experience from work history, answered 'no', and succesfully got PPR?

On the other side - has anyone had any issues with this approach?

Thank you in advance

It's okay since you're not claiming points for it.

Thank you - this is what I have heard around the forums - but the application itself doesn't state this and to do so would technically be giving misinformation on the application (does your spouse have any work history: no). I can't find any 'official' source that this is okay to do. Just wondering if anyone has successfully submitted an application this way or if it has caused anyone any trouble?
