Spouse Education

[cooolideal]

We need to provide spouse education although we r not claim points for her education? If yes we need to provide her educational documents?

As far as I remember you get points for your spouse education/area of training. And obviously need to provide proof of that.
I remember that it was capped to one degree and although I listed all my education I didn't provide translation for another degree as there was no extra points for that. We got a letter back saying that this other degree/qualification will not be considered if I don't provide translation etc. We ignored that as there was no extra points for second degree. I think that the main applicant would get extra points

If you mention something on the application you'll have to provide proof. Otherwise they will automatically send you this letter requesting the documentation as lyluk got. I don't know what will happen if you don't submit them: will they proceed without taking into account said degree? Or will they get "upset" and reject the application? Lyluk, was your application successful after not submitting the certificates?

In order to avoid the hassle and uncertainty, I know people who chose not to mention a degree or a work experience at all because they didn't have documentation for it and/or it wasn't relevant for the points.

This was indeed the case until a year or so ago, but currently (as of the August 2015 scoring grid) they do give 1 extra point if the spouse has a master's or a PhD. So if anyone from the future is reading this thread, make sure you use the latest scoring grid (or whatever tool they have in the future!) to calculate your points.

Sorry for late reply. I didn't get notified of any new posts. We submitted these certificates but not provided the translated docs. They eventually accepted our reason for not providing these and our application was successful.
I didn't know that the scoring grid got updated. Thank you for mentioning.
