Hello experts

Can we have 2 express entry profiles?
I am thinking of having one with a spouse and one without.
How soon can we apply for BOWP, is it after receiving ITA or another correspondence? and how long is it issued for?
Also, can i apply for my spouse SOWP extension when applying for BOWP?

Thanks all

You can create multiple profiles, but IRCC advises against it. At any given point, you should only have one valid EE profile.

Can one person have multiple profiles? OP is asking about being principal applicant and having one without spouse accompanying and one application with spouse not accompanying. Different scores for each. Didn’t think that was allowed.

You need to limit it to one profile. You have to pick if your spouse will be accompanying or non accompanying.

You can apply for the BOWP after you have received ITA and submitted your complete application and also received AOR.

Definitely not allowed, but the system lets people create multiple profiles (using multiple emails).
