Is main applicant affected if dependant does not take up PR?

My partner and I received our COPRs this month. I’m the main applicant and my partner is the dependant.

I’m taking up my COPR and plan to land in Canada this month and to live there for the next three years at the least. However, my partner just received an amazing offer for her dream job in our home country and intends to take it up instead. As she would be under probation for the first year and is unable to travel during this time, she is no longer keen to carry out the landing for her COPR. This would in effect be a renunciation of the COPR as I understand.

Would this affect my PR status in any way? or is the main applicant’s PR status independent of the dependants?

She cannot travel to Canada and return to her country afterwards? Once she landed, she can live outside Canada for a certain period of time. Otherwise, she will need to start from scratch if she ever want to immigrate to Canada again.

Anyways no issues if your are the main applicant.
