Hi helpful folks!
Requesting your thoughts/advice on PR application for spouse (we're married).

About me: PR residing in Canada
About spouse: Open Work Permit holder residing and working full-time in Canada

Question:
Would it be more efficient to apply for her PR via:
a) Spouse sponsorship (I sponsor her)
OR
b) Independently (as an Express Entry application without my sponsorship; her CRS score is around 530)

Factors to consider:
- Wait times (looks like this is longer for sponsorship)
- Ease of collecting required documents
- Overall ease of applications and approval
(any others I missed?)

Sorry if this is a redundant post, I'm happy to be redirected (I tried searching but couldn't find the answer(s) I was looking for).

Thanks in advance!
