Please help!!! Express Entry Spouse Language exam

[anky2015]

Hi guyz,
My brother is preparing for express entry FSW application. He is married and wants to be the principal applicant. So I was wondering, that both the husband and wife has to give the IELTS exam or just the principal applicant can give the IELTS exam and sponsor the spouse.

Need ur help guyz.
Thanks in advance.

If he wants points for his wife's language abilities then she needs to take IELTS too.
