If I get my express entry successful and then PR

[SaharTheGreat]

Hello,
am in the process of applying through express entry. I have done my IELTS and working on accrediting my education. My question is regarding my husband. He is not doing the IELTS at this stage and also not applying for teh dental license. so I am really concerned that if I combine him with my application as a secondary applicant may drop my points.

In this case, if I get the invitation to apply,:
1. how soon I get the PR?
2. Can I include my kids with me from beginning?
3. Can I sponsor my husband to join me ionnce I get the PR?

1. No one can tell you that. After ITA once you submit your application it can vary from 30 days to 6 months or may be even more depending on your case details.
2. yes
3. yes

You would need to include everyone on your family. Leaving out people would be construed as misrepresentation. Whether you are single or married affects your CRS score. So, it is not optional.

You can mention your husband as a non accompanying spouse if u r worried about crs drop and later sponsor him

Thank you so much.

Which step should I do first?
1. Applying for PNP to get nominated
2. Then if nominated I created EE profile to include the nomination so I gain 600+ points?
3. Or I proceed with EE profile without PNP, in my case, I can reach max of 269 points in CRS, from current trends, at what points people were invited? How can I know of my score is god or bad? for me to assess my chances to get ITA?

EE profile comes first. Please refer to the 3 pinned posts at the Express Entry/Expression of interest thread level.
