POF unaccompanied spouse

I highly appreciate your help with my issue. TIA.

My relationship is common-law. We have already created EE profile in which I am the primary applicant and accompanied by my partner since Sep 2019. I have 1/2 fund under my name (July 2019) and 1/2 fund under our joint account (July 2019)

Due to the increase of CRS, we agree that I will revise my EE profile as unaccompanied and will sponsor my partner later.

My issue is that, if my partner is not coming with me, can I still use my POF with the joint account. I have found this one but it does not mention my case.
“If your spouse is coming with you, you can count money you have together in a joint account. You may be able to count money in an account under their name only, but you must prove you have access to the money.” (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html)

Thank you for your time and support

I think you should be fine with a joint account, even if your spouse is unaccompanying.

Ask legalfalcon in his thread if you want to be sure.
