Adding Spouse to Express Entry profile after PNP

[diggy007]

Hi All,
I ran into a weird situation, initially I created my profile by not selecting spouse accompanying. That time my CRS score was 474. I got selected in PNP and it is also approved. Now the score is 1019.

after approval, I updated my profile as accompanying spouse. I read in multiple forums that it might lead to further complications and my profile can be rejected. I want to understand how can I explain this situation to the immigration officer in case asked further questions, so that I don’t get a rejection.

No problem at all. You can add a spouse up to the moment when you get your COPR.

How Can you say no problem at all? The CRS points are calculated based on the spouse. so when you had got PNP invitation that time it is considered the points you claimed as no spouse accompanying and hence you got that points and selected in that NOI from province. IF you add your spouse later after selecting is something like we misuse the process. Did you added your spouse in the EE profile before you get invitation?
