Can a dependent open WP holder be a principal applicant for CEC

[mack_ra]

Hi,

I have been in Canada on a WP and my spouse on a dependent open WP. My spouse has been working full time for last 1 year & 9 months.

Now can my spouse be a principal applicant for a CEC application and myself as dependent ?

Thanks.

Yes, she can be PA

Yes, she can be PA

Absolutely, if she meets all other criteria.
