Adding spouse after AOR

I have a couple of questions regarding adding spouse to an express entry application:
A) will adding wife after AOR decrease the score?
B) How long would IRCC take to add spouse to the application once status has been updated to IRCC through the webform and relevant documents are submitted?
Background: I received an email asking to confirm my presence in Canada and I was away at the time for marriage. I replied to the email by providing all requested details and said NO to the question: Are you in Canada?. I updated IRCC about my wedding and submitted all relevant documents through the webform to add my wife to the express entry application. I updated IRCC by replying to the same email after coming back to Canada that I am back in the country.
C) Can I simultaneously apply for the spousal work permit as I am an a work permit as well.

Inputs are highly appreciated! Thank you.
