Hello experts
I need your sincere advice. I am in the express entry pool with a non-accompanying spouse at CRS 473 score. My score with my spouse is 454 therefore i decided to have non-accompanying spouse so i have better chances of ITA and then i can sponsor her. Currently, we both are on work permit in Canada, both about to expire in Jan 2024 (4 months from now).
I received NOI from Ontario recently and i am thinking to proceed with OINP as i don't have much time left until our work permit expires. I heard that i could add my spouse as accompanying if the draw score was lower than our score combined, which it will be after i get the nomination letter. Is this true? if so, then how can i change my EE profile to add my spouse as accompanying as it doesn't allow to make changes? Also, do i have to mention about changing spouse to accompanying to OINP? How can i do that since it doesn't ask in OINP application. Is it going to cost me more or same?
Thank you for your leads on this and i really appreciate your time to answer it.
