PR Approved through Express Entry. Can I take my spouse with me as a dependent?

Hello

I am from India and I recently got approved for PR through Express Entry. I have a question regarding Spouse accompanying.
I placed my Express Entry profile as an individual and got shortlisted. When I tried to co-apply with my wife the points actually decreased than when I calculated as an Individual.
So I applied as an Individual on 8th May. Everything was smoothly done and I got approved for PR on 10th Aug. During my application I had to also submit medical exam as well as police clearance for my wife.
My question is can I take her as a dependent with me and process her PR from within Canada?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

No you cannot apply a dependent visa. On the other hand you can apply spouse visa once you get PR card.
Spouse visa will take 1 year to process.
