Did you really take this route? And the person who advised you is he an approved IRCC agent ? What stage is going your application right now ?

That is perfectly valid as i spoke with IRCC member and i am in the same situation. She said this is a legal way to increase points and IRCC kept this option so, that people can increase points. In explanation you can give the real reason. i have done same thing saying in explanation i said that "i am not including my spouse to as i gain points without ading him and i will sponser him later, once i get my pr" i did this even though he is in Canada on same status like me (Open work permit)
