Spouse can apply for PR through economic pathways if they want. How do they have a WP and have you looked into whether they will get selected for any of the economic programs? Why do you not qualify to sponsor your spouse?

Yes, some pathways have reduced numbers and others have high scores and are quite competitive.

However if a spouse cannot sponsor the person, then they have to find a way to qualify for PR on their own through an economic stream. Tell that person to start learning French now if they aren't already fluent.
