You don't have to be confused, all you need do is weigh your options, and choose what's best for you.
Adding your spouse will definitely extended your processing time, but if done early enough, you may not experience much delay (max of 6-9 months)
Better still, wait till you get your PR and sponsor your spouse (the current processing time is 12 months).
But the most important thing is getting your spouse to Canada if She/He is not in the country. I will advise you apply for OWP

I don’t have noc o,a,b job to apply for sowp and we are not married yet.

Well to the best of my knowledge, I know people who are not in NOC O. A or B, who got sowp, with their provincial nomination certificate as a supporting document.

Good morning!

Good news here: January applicant and PPR received this morning!

No "decision made" before this, ghost updated happened on May 28th, medicals were expired June 14th and we have no information related to its extension (I didn't call IRCC). Principal applicant and one dependent. Still no changes on CIC website.

Our passports expiry date was October 2019, so we had them renewed and submitted a copy through Webfrom on June 5th. We received IRCC confirmation on June 12th.

Full timeline:
Application sent - 15 January 2018
Application received - 20 February 2018
Medical request - 31 May 2018
Medical approved - June 2018
Pre-arrival letter - 11 August 2018
GU - 28 May 2019
PPR and DM - 18 June 2019

We were expecting for a Wednesday, we were expecting for PPR on day or two weeks after the ghost update and nothing really made any sense to us... but we were relying on anything that helped us go through this exhausting process!

Thanks so much for each one of you! The forum really helped relief our stress when most of Canadian co-workers and family back home have no idea on how exhausting this process can be!

Good luck guys! I hope you all receive the same good news really soon
