Ok, definitely not an option!Good question. I did this and our score goes from 407 now to 360 with her as primary applicant!
A high IELTS makes such a significant difference!

No problem, anytime!Many thanks for the quick response.
We are definitely having that drink when we land. We have way too much in common!
Drinks absolutely for grownups and kids having those something cinnamon in Timmy's what you mentioned before!
You see people on here who have attempted IELTS 3, 4 or even 5 times and display those scores like a badge of honour. I never really understood clearly why, but now I do. Good scores are damn hard to achieve, even to native english speakers and secondly they make such an, almost illogical, difference to your CRS. It's crazy the impact they have.
Wear them with pride!
yeah....yesterday I had this conversation back home with my brother...You see people on here who have attempted IELTS 3, 4 or even 5 times and display those scores like a badge of honour.

I managed CLB10 in my first attempt after coming back from the test believing myself would have scored around 6 in writing and maybe 7 in speaking...almost had paid the fees for the next attempt before something made me wait for the result...& CLB10 it was
...after coming to this forum and understating how painstaking it is at times to get the desired score for the test,I feel I was lucky to have got it done in the first attempt ...now I'm bit scared to give a retest and score that good,as my nerves will pull me down as now ielts seems like the chinese wall...

Didn't get that one, but ok.And here, she has decided to stay away from IELTS when i told her that i missed my writing by 0.5 again in third attempt.
I've realized that if I don't get invited before completing my upcoming degree, I will need to take IELTS again despite getting a CLB10 last year and being a native speaker... Oh well, that's a worry for next year, lol.

Being really busy and not thinking about a draw, just like last Wednesday.
This will bring unexpected draw for sure. Pretty confident there will be a draw tomorrow. CRS cuttoff 425.
You can always make her the PA and get an ITA.Please forgive me for asking a newbie question on the wrong thread, but my friends are all here on this one.
As you know I'm am now at 407 CRS. If my wife resits the IELTS and actually listens this time (forgive me darling if you're reading this!
We both are very similar points wise:
Where we differ is age. She is two years younger than me.
- Both speak english as first language and therefore should be able to get full marks here
- Both hold a Masters recognised by Canada
- Both are IT Managers and have over 6 years experience in last 10 years, so same NOC
If she sat the IELTS again, obtained full marks and we reverse who the primary applicant is then our points will jump from 407 (as it is now) to 429 due to her getting more points in the age category.
My wife has been a full time mum for the last 18 months to look after our kids and we do not want this to change. Indeed when we move to Canada we will need her to be a full time mum since we won't have a family support network. We don't want to try and fool immigration officials and say my wife will work, because that's not true. I will be the one who finds a job and works.
Now for my question. My understanding is that if we were to switch primary applicants, raise our score to 429 and obtain an ITA, then it would be perfectly legal and above board for my wife pursue this ITA with the intention of not working. If fact, by my reading I'm not sure that the direct ITA route really asks any questions about who is going to work or in what profession.
Am I correct?
The post ita time and by the time u land in Canada , which u surely will with the jump in the score, the kid would be around 2.
There is no such specification in CIC, to my knowledge, that PA has to start working immediately after landing.
PA can work anytime after landing. They just want to be sure that you have enough funds to support yourself and family for one year.
If you have enough funds then as far as CIC is concerned , even if both of you are not working and staying home, not a problem.
Just change the PA and increase your acceptance chances.
From your lips to God's ears!I think you're going to get invited and get your PR sooner than you think! So sit tight, be prepared to be amazed.
Is that a saying anywhere else in the world?
