Express Entry

[JithenB]

Hello People
I am living in Canada with my family of 4 i.e. myself, wife and 2 kids. I would like to apply for PR through express entry. I am on a closed work permit and my wife is on open work permit. Can I apply for PR individually? Is it mandatory to include family details in express entry profile? My family has no interest in living for long here and I am looking to work alone here for another few years.

It is mandatory that you include family details in the application and they will all have to take and pass the medical (and your wife will have to provide PCCs as well). However you can list them as non-accompanying which means only you will get the PR visa and they won't.

Thanks for the response. I will include their details. Can I sponsor my wife if she change her mind in future and decide to stay once I get my PR?

I am filling my PR profile and it didn't ask my family details anywhere except at one place they asked me to mention total family member including me, my spouse and kids, so I mentioned 4 there. When my family will be asked for medical and PCC? Is it after I get the PR invite?
