Excluding spouse in EE application

[ChrisBanks]

Hi everyone, I need your ideas please.

I'm on PGWP till May 2019. My spouse is back home but we already applied for the SOWP hoping she will be here in Canada by Feb 2018.

I included her in my paper pnp pr application in Nov 2017 but no aor yet. I saw online that the processing time is now 18months (this is risky cos my pgwp expires in May 2019).

When she arrives here early next year, I would like to apply for the express entry but won't include her since my point is gonna drop. When I get my PR, I can then sponsor her.

Should I wait for the pnp PR or apply for the express entry?

What's your take on this? Advice please

Usually there'd be no need to wait as you are more than free to have two applications running at the same time when one is paper based and the other via EE.

The issue here (if any) is that you have added your spouse as accompanying in your pnp application and now you wish to add her as non-accompanying. I have not seen anyone attempting this before so I cannot provide a proper advice.

The other issue is they've already applied for the SOWP, and the plan is for her to be in Canada. This is non "non-accompanying."

Indeed.
