What best option for Expression of Interest

[Made_in_India]

(Apologies for the lengthy post and a new thread as I could not relate other threads with my situation)

Hi Experts

Here is my situation, but need help for the best way to apply PR:

* My wife is in Montral(QUEBEC) and working on a Work permit (deputation from an Indian IT firm)
* She now has more than 1year of total(in two parts) working duration in Canada (Quebec)
* I am now in Montreal as well currently on an (dependent)"Open Work permit" which is valid only until next year feb
* I have got a job offer but this is in QUEBEC (Montreal)
* We both have got above 7 IELTS score(VALID only till NOVEMBER 2018)
* WES degree evaluation is ready.
* We both do not know French at all

___________________________________
Now, I need suggestions from the experts on what would be the best possible option for a PR:
Option 1 :
________
Wife as a primary applicant as she has additional points(please correct me if it doesn't count for 2 parts and if continuous 1 year is mandatory) due to 1 year working exp in Canada and
me as a secondary with her;
Option 2:
________
If my job offer from QUEBEC is helpful in earning points for Express Entry then I can be the primary applicant and my wife as secondary
(the problem in this option is I heard that French is mandatory from Applying via QUEBEC province)
So my queries:
1. Is the QUEBEC job offer (if LMIA is done by Employer) will help me earning Points for EXPRESS ENTRY (applied from FSW program) ?
2. Which option is better Option 1 or Option 2 for my case?
3. Is applying from Quebec is better or under Federal Skilled worker Program (i mean to ask from Non-Quebec province and how safe it is to apply that way when I am currently residing in Quebec)
Any suggestions are welcome , I read about QSC but that requires advance intermediate french language;
I actually wish to apply asap so as not to repeat the exhausting IELTS test ans so do not have time for any french learning as of now.
Thanks a lot in advance!

1 - Well yes, but how are you going to prove your intention to reside outside the province of Quebec when you are basically saying you'll have a job offer for at least a year after receiving PR in Quebec.
2 - Option 1 is more realistic but again, you will have to convince the processing officer of your intention as well as show proof (if any) that you have the intention to reside in a different province. Failing to do so will result in rejection of your application.
3 - See answers 1 and 2.

I guess you should take the best decision after all its your life. Take opinions of others but follow your heart.

Thanks a ton for your response
>>I am on a open work permit(dependent of my wife) and my job offer doesnt say any duration, but yeah its a permanent emplyment offer in Quebec yes so that would be difficult to convince the officer that I intend to reside elsewhere;

>> You are right that Option 1 more realistic and am just one step away to submit an EOI :
But my doubts here are:
A) Is non-continuous experience counts right? (I mean that 1 year in total is in two parts );
B) I have no issues applying PR from Quebec and we also intend to live in this province but French learning is a must here for PR or CSQ(Certificat de sélection du Québec) right?
C) I know people here who have been working in Quebec since the time they have come here and applied from Federal, still staying in Quebec and have a PR now, so how do they do the convincing part?(of course i have no clue, so asking here)

Sorry for going in loops, but I am still puzzled how to go about it!
thanks a lot in advance!

A - Correct, work experience need not be continuous under the CEC program.
B - No comment on this, my area of expertise is Express Entry.
C - There are ways but if your intention is to remain in Quebec then I rather not comment.
