Higher (wife)CRS score for FSW with lower (Husband)CRS but with occupation in demand

[Amanullahshahid]

My Skill happens to be on the 'In-Demand Occupation List' in OINP but as a primary applicant, my CRS score is 10 points lower than my wife's as the primary applicant. Should I put myself as the primary applicant (for PNP) or instead go with my wife as a primary applicant, with higher CRS but No 'In-Demand Occupation List'?

What is your NOC and CRS score? If your wife is the primary applicant then she wouldn’t receive an OINP nomination.

You can both create separate profiles where you are the primary applicant. That's what I would suggest you do.

However as said above, if your wife doesn't have an occupation that's in demand, she won't be selected where she is the primary applicant.

My wife's NOC is 11101
Mine is 0124
With my wife as Primary Applicant, CRS is 470. With me as the primary applicant, the score is 460 (10 points less for my Age Factor)

Separate profile of individuals or with a spouse?

Separate profile of individuals or with a spouse?

Two applications
1. You as primary applicant and your spouse as secondary.
2. Your spouse as primary applicant and you as secondary.

Is your spouse's NOC 1111?
