Spouse not accompanying!!

Keep it simple. Obviously you are doing it because of CRS points, right? Officers aren’t stupid. Plus, as un accompanying it will take at least a year to sponsor him once you are settled in Canada. So he doesn’t have a job? If you don’t have ITA, it may be months until you are selected (assume your points are above 470) so by then he may be working.
Eligibility already passed by the officer, so I believe yes they did. I only answered the question that ask why once you select spouse as non-accommpanying with something not having enough points for us to be selected and I’ll sponsor her once I settle in Canada (get a job and rent a house). I didn’t mention anything in LOE.
My agent is saying not enough points is not a good reason and they will not accept it. Is it true? What u mean eligibility passed ?
Where did u mention the reason?
IRCC uses IRPA to process applications. This is ensure decisions on the applications do not become subjective but rather objective. There’s no rule that says one cannot remove the spouse from PR visa to return the points lost due to the spouse accompanying. So, IRCC cannot reject your application based on this. There were some cases where when the applicants are already in Canada that this reason was not accepted because it didn’t make sense as the spouse was already in Canada with a temporary visa. However, I did see a case where the primary applicant lawyered-up and challenged the decision. IRCC settled the case outside the court by agreeing with the applicant to reopen the application and he/she dropped the case. So, yeah, in the rare cases where this becomes an issue, the law is on our side.
Almost all the immigration agents aren’t lawyers so they make recommendations based on anecdotes. If you have no other option, go for it.
Since I already passed the eligibility, it means they accepted my reason because if they questioned or insisted that I make spouse accompanying I would have lost many points and fall below the cut off score, hence I would have failed eligibility.
After I got the ITA, there were questions to be answered in order to proceed to the documents page and in that they asked the reason.
hi so are you outside canada? my agents suggest putting some other reason other than no score. but my spouse doesn't have a a job to state job committment as a reason.. at what stage of your application are you in?
are you sure we can state reason for spouse not accompanying is low crs?
so after you got ur ITA you answered the reason as low crs for non- accompanying spouse? and what reply did you get back from IRCC? whats the next step that you got?
Yes, that’s reason I used. I couldn’t lie. Like I said in my previous posts, I already passed both eligibility and criminality. Security was the only remaining step but the pandemic started and halted their skilled program outland processing due to international travel restriction, as you know. Hopefully, I’ll get update from the office in January.
