How are you planning on applying for PR? If you are planning on applying through the FSW / EE program, his points may not be high enough to be selected. Have you calculated how many points you have?

If you are the primary applicant, you can add his profile and if you need the eligibility and CRS points, and want him to accompany you to Canada, then he will need to have WES and IELTS completed. As for work, he needs to research the licensing requirements.

I will be the primary applicant, I have done B.tech and MBA and have 4 years of work experience. My spouse who is working in merchant navy will be my dependent. I just wanted some clarity on his WES, whether it is required to get his WES done and if yes then what's the procedure of WES for seafarers. Also whether he'll be able to join merchant navy related companies and continue his sailing or he need to give some exam there to get canadian COC.

What are your points with him accompanying with and without IELTS/WES? You want over 480. He can't be in the Canadian Navy (assume you mean military since you say merchant navy) unless a citizen.

Thanks for the reply. Please let me know how to get his WES done, he has done pre-sea training after 12th then done sailing and then completed "Officer of the watch" from UK, South Shiled University. Currently sailing as 3rd officer and holds 2nd mate license. So for which all documents we need to get the WES done. And from where I'll get the licensing requirements information.

Go to the WES website for instructions. As for licensing, don't know but it would be through Transport Canada.
