Express entry - married but apply alone

[escapehk]

Option 1: Mention that you are applying alone for the sake of points in a simple and humble way. Also, do not hide the fact that you are married. There is a risk of application going into review or delayed.

Option 2 (not recommended):There is also the option of declaring that you are separated and have been living apart for 90+days (this means you are on your way to divorce at some point) - but you can reconcile a year later and sponsor him/her. You usually do not get additional questions and would not go to review but you are lying in your application.

Thank you so much for your reply!
It is really difficult to choose. If I apply alone (my CRS score 470 but if I apply with my husband my CRS score will decrease to 460.

I talked a guy who faced the same situation. He told he wanted to settle first and his wife will join later. He got PR.

So the guy apply alone and settle in Canada first? His wife come later?

So I can just simply honestly tell IRCC, it is for the point?

As I already said, yes.
