Hi, is your spouse in India or in Canada ?

Canada. I am in India

 

[dreamcanadalife]

Canada. I am in India

Can you tell me what option did you choose where it asks "is spouse accompanying you to Canada" as your spouse is already there?

 

[DelPiero07]

Non-accompanying.

 

[dreamcanadalife]

Non-accompanying.

And the funds requirement is still considered for two people or one ?

Also it asks about the IELTS score of the other spouse who is already a PR, does it have any bearing on the application? Or I mean does the PR spouse needs to have a valid ielts score within 2 years ?

By choosing non-accompanying your score will be calculated as if you were single. You do not need his/her IETLS, ECA, work experience, etc.

And what about funds ?

Exactly. Though they so ask for IELTS score, i dont think it has sny bearing on your application. For funds, to be on the safer side, I showed what they need for 3 people..
