With or Without spouse

[Nvnsuri]

Guys I'm scoring in the 440s when I choose that my spouse is coming with me. If I choose she is not coming, my score is 477. We are already in Canada and have 1 more year of work permit left. Is anyone else in the same situation? Doing ECA for spouse is not going to add much to my score considering spouse would accompany. And ECA is a big pain considering process and timelines.

So I am thinking can I apply as a married but spouse is not coming (she is already here on an open wp valid for 1 year) - 477 CRS points. And once I get PR, I can sponsor spouse under family class or whatever is faster and proper way.

I am not sure how the cutoff for next draws would be, considering the trend reversal now. So I am curious to know opinions from those who have experienced / faced this issue.

Hi mate,
My friend is in same situation. What did you do. Please let me know.

I decided to do Married with spouse/kid un-accompanying as CRS scorers were dropping, will have to apply at a later date

How will my scores help you out ?

Check your CRS scores in all scenarios against recent CRS draws, you can get an idea on next steps that would suit you well.
