Stuck in a very terrible situation and need help from experienced seniors here. Here is a summary:
a) Received my ITA in January as a principal applicant, and spouse as a dependent. In the meanwhile, got a chance to immigrate temporarily with an incredible job opportunity to an EU country, when we found out that my spouse's US issued Indian passport is not scanning properly with the immigration department of that country.
b) Consequently, we had to urgently apply a new passport for him. Turns out, since he was born outside the country, he cannot be issued an urgent Tatkal passport, and it will take a while. We have been struggling to pull strings and complete all paperwork, but it seems we will miss the deadline for eAPR submission by just two days.
Now, we have two options:
OPTION A: We submit the eAPR with my complete details and WITHOUT spouse's valid passport and emedical, explaining about it in LoE, and hope for an extension.
OPTION B: We decline the invitation on the 89th day (hoping that the passport is received at the nth moment), and get a new ITA. It may be noted that given current trends, we can easily get a new ITA in next few rounds. But since we will move countries (EU), will have a new address and maybe will have a few more PCCs to arrange, I am dreading the paperwork.
My queries:
a) Which option of the two will result in better chance of application not being rejected?
b) Is it allowed to submit application without an accompanying spouse's valid passport, explaining it in LoE?
c) Will I be eligible for next ITA round if I reject it at the last moment?
d) Will my emedical on the old ITA be still valid on the new ITA?
e) Do I have to edit my express entry profile with new passport details of spouse? eAPR application allows you to input new passport doc details.
f) If we move countries after the new ITA submission (ambitious, I know), will we have to get the visa process done only in the original country? Can our new country's visa office handle our application post submission?
Our deadline of submission is 10th April, so really hoping for an early response.
Doing so, will give you a breathing moment to make sufficient changes in your profile and go with the process at ease.
In response to your other questions,
Your spouse's passport is compulsory in proceeding with application.
Yes, you will eligible for the next when you decline invitation.
Your e-medical have the validity of one year. you still have to furnish new report upon next invitation(safer path).
Yes, you can do as many changes as you can, until you receive ITA.
You can never guess right which visa office will process your application. Based on the application load, it will be transferred to the LVO else it can be processed via CPC-Ottawa or Sydney.
In that case, can you please explain in detail about your diploma/degree with university name?
Do mention, if you did that before Graduation or after it?
It was 2 years course called "Higher Secondary School Certificate in Vocational Stream - Electronics Technology".
Secondary School Certificate is 10 year schooling in India + Higher Secondary School Certificate is 2 years + University Degree is 3 years.
I have only got wes eca for 3 year degree, but in EE form see an option to also get points on vocational courses. Dont see anything in Google where to get the ECA from. Please advise.

If you have a Diploma post Graduation, that will fall under category "Two or More Certificates".
The vocational course that you are mentioning is already on the list before Graduation, "Two-year program at University, College, trade or technical school or other institutes"

Hello everyone ,
I wanted to ask that how much score I need for my Ielts if I have state nomination ?
For example can I get an ITA if my Ielts score is below 6.5 in each section of Ielts but I do have a state nomination ?
