Spouse education history

[parthdave1306]

Hello. I got an invitation to submit my details based on Canadian experience class. My wife is in India and she will be on my dependent in this process. I'm not going to count her education from India to count my express-entry points. My question is that when I fill up the form after getting invitation, should I mention her education in education history section? Because I didn't use it to calculate my points. I'm going to mention it in personal history though.
Thanks

Only in Personal History section if you are not claiming points for it. Good luck!

We included mine in the education section (even though we didn't claim points for it); along with a Letter of Explanation stating that there is no WES as we did not claim any points for it. Had absolutely no problems with it. I think the most important thing is to give accurate information, your wife does have education so therefore I would think it needs to be included whether you claimed points for it or not.

That is incorrect. As long as you add the education in Personal History section, you are giving accurate information and not hiding anything. Good luck!

There is absolutely no need to add such information in the education section, as long as it is mentioned in the personal history OP won't face any issues.
