Does spouse ECA help to increase the ranking in Express entry pool

[Stanlee]

Hi Stanlee,

Thanks for the informatoin. I have gone through the OINP nomination procedure and found that this can help me out even though my points are not exceeding 450. I just have one basic question is that, once I get nominated by Ontario Province and got PR, shall this PR will be restricting myself to do the job only in Ontario province?

If yes then Is Ontario a province which has maximum number of IT companies..? I am a software developer by profession and has 9.5 years of experience.

It is not legally binding that you have to live in the province that nominated you, but is more of a moral obligation for the efforts that the province has put in for nominating you. Once you are a PR, you have the right to work and live anywhere in Canada.

Yes, there are many IT companies in Ontario, you can search on Google. I do not think you would need to move to another province if nominated by Ontario, Ontario is good in itself. In fact, many people nominated by other provinces want to settle in Ontario.
