POF single applicant requirements

[darshit2270]

My spouse is unable to crack the IELTS with higher bands and this in return is affecting my CRS score.

I am thinking to apply as a single applicant saying spouse is not accompanied. If I get PR then I can sponsor her later.Can anyone suggest if this is appropriate?

If I am applying with above situation as single applicant, do I have to show POF for single person or for 2 persons?

Yes, you can sponsor her later through the spousal sponsorship route. This will take at least a year, and you will also need to be eligible to sponsor. You can read about the eligibility requirements here - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ship/spouse-partner-children/eligibility.html

POF remains the same - you have to show enough for two people.

You must show POF for 2 people. You will not be applying as a single applicant. You will be applying as a married applicant but with your spouse listed as non-accompanying.

Yes - you can list your spouse as non-accompanying and sponsor them later. Be aware this may mean you'll be separated for most of a year.
