I wanted to give IELTS first to get an idea where I stand so received IELTS results yesterday and posting my query here.
Need some opinion on chances on my case before I apply. If yes, which province (category, job code etc ). Please advise

- Spouse – MBA in healthcare from India (not working since last 10 years)
- Spouse will be appearing for IELTS soon and should get atleast CLB7 in IELTS
- I have traveled to Canada twice on tourist visa earlier and both myself and spouse has valid Canadian tourist visa
