should Canadian spouse to be included in application ?

[Sykes]

yup that is correct, and I didn't include my spouse's work history and he doesn't need any language test, i believe, as you will not get any points with that anyway since he/she is a Canadian citizen.

Hi. Thanks for the info. Helped a lot. Do you know if same is applicable if one of spouse is Canadian PR? Do we still need medical/IELTS scores etc ? Also, does mentioning a Canadian spouse increases / decreases your CRS points? Thanks

Hi all!

Just some clarification on the spouse thing - my wife is a Canadian citizen who has been living with me in the U.S. for the past five years (legally). I just got my ITA for PR under Express Entry - what documents do I HAVE to include for her? I just want to clarify this - it appears, from reading this thread, that she doesn't need a Police Certificate or Medical Exam, and that I can just upload a letter explaining she's a Canadian Citizen, but do I need to upload education credentials or letters from employers for her?

Any clarification that can be provided would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

No - just proof of her citizenship (passport, birth certificate) with your explanation.

Excellent! Thanks for the response!

Anyone else able to get past the UCI request for a Canadian citizen? I've even spoke with CIC about this and their answers do not work, i.e. put zeros or x's or leave blank.

No a Canadian citizen can never get a UCI. Can you just put N/A?

I've tried that as well. There must be a way to get past, as other's in the same situation have done so but for me it's just been a glaring incomplete orange status bar while every other box is a green check mark. I'm hoping that with system maintenance I'll be able to bypass that section, but until then I'm sort of stuck. Even CIC acknowledged to me on the phone it was their error, gave me a solution but it's failed to work. I'll continue to be patient as the invitation clock ticks....

Just further clarification - she's a Canadian citizen who's been living in the US for awhile. Because she's Canadian, and she's not included in the application, that means I put she's not accompanying me to Canada right? Because she can return on her own?

That's right. The term "accompanying" might be confusing, but the answer is NO. She is not accompanying you in Canada as she is a citizen.

Great! Thank you!

One more question! I'm sorry, but the application says "Will this person accompany [name] to Canada?" I said "No." The next question is "Please explain why not." What do I say? "My wife is already a Canadian Citizen and can come up on her own?"

No use a more feasible reason (ie my wife is a Canadian citizen working in 'Usa' and will be travelling to Canada when she completes her work assignment).

What about "My wife is currently working in the USA and will move up to Canada when she receives a job offer from a Canadian employer"?

Re-word slightly: My wife is currently working in the USA, and is currently actively seeking a job in her field in the Canadian job market. She is actively applying and hopeful of getting a job in her field. She will come to Canada for any job interviews and re-locate when she gets the job.
