2 Express Entry Profiles?

[sakarwala1]

Hi All,

I had a question and hope you get some clarification.

Is it allowed to have 2 Express Entry Profiles wherein I am the primary applicant on the first and the secondary applicant on the second?
I have a Msc in Marketing whereas my wife is a MBA in HR. We both have decent ielts scores, however, due to our age, our CRS is around 460. Now, if we have 2 express entry profiles, wouldn't that increase our chances of getting a PNP in any of the provinces ? Even If my profile of Marketing is not nominated, there is a fair chance that her profile of HR would be nominated right ?

Kindly Advice,

Regards,
MS

yes u can have two profiles as primary and secondary. however if both profiles receive ITA and/or NOI you would obviously need to select one

Creating a second profile does not improve your odds of success. Just go with whoever has the stronger profile.

@primaprime - Yes, I understand that it doesn't improve your odds when it comes to the draws of the express entry profiles. But, it would increase your chances of getting a PNP nomination right? Because as a Primary, it is a possibility that your job noc doesn't qualify for a ITA and/or NOI, however, your partner who is the primary on the separate profile (where you are secondary) probably has a different NOC and experience might qualify in some province..
