I had created a profile but mentioned that my spouse would not be accompanying me. If I want to change my profile to have my spouse accompanying me, would I be able to do that? If so, where would I get to change that?
 
Yes, you can change it in your EE profile. Go to the section "View submitted application" and then make the changes for each section accordingly.
 
I could not find it there. I received an ITA in the previous draw, could it be because of that?
 
Yea, that's why.
 
Once you receive an ITA and you accept it, then your EE profile gets locked.
Any changes that you want to make in your application and notify IRCC - can be done via CSE.
 
Oh ok. But I could not even find that option under the family section. Would that option be removed once an ITA os received?
 
But please re calculate your scores along with your spouse as chances are that it may drop or increase your CRS. If increase well and good but a drop in CRS below the ITA cut off will lead to rejection!!!
 
Thanks you guys for the valuable information. But my main concern is that I am not find the option where I can change my spouse's inclusion from non accompanying to accompanying in my profile. I could not find this option under the family section. Can some one help me with this specific point

Raise a Case Specific Enquiry (CSE) and inform them that your circumstance has changed and your spouse is now accompanying you. You cannot do this by yourself after you get ITA, otherwise people will be able to cheat the system.

HOWEVER - before you do that, recalculate your score with the CRS tool, to make sure your new score will still be above the cut off score when you got the ITA, otherwise, they will add your spouse details and you will loose your ITA/your application can be refused and you will have to wait for ITA with your probably reduced score.

Hopefully you did not intentionally leave out your spouse and your circumstance really changed after you got the ITA. Many married people thought about leaving out spouse to increase scores and get ITA and then later include their spouse - it doesn't work.

Good luck!
 
Thank you! In case I decline my ITA, would that option show up in my profile or would I need to delete the profile and create a new one?
