Would I be penalized if I refuse the ITA and re-apply with my wife

[salimb]

Hey, long story short, I applied for the ITA saying that she would not be accompanying me.
The situation changed and we would like to add her to the application.

Would we be penalized for declining?
How are our chances for the next draw: 469


Cheers

1 - No such penalty for declining, you have a good chance with that score.

This situation sounds similar to the one in the following thread and the advice is different. Might be worth comparing notes. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/super-dilemma-suggestions-please-t469063.0.html
