I have a closed WP until Nov 2019, currently accompanied by my spouse who has a dependent open WP. I am eligible for Federal CEC, my CRS score is 450 when the spouse is included in the application. However, if I calculate score without spouse it comes to 468! So, I should expect an ITA in the next draw. Currently, we stay in Montreal, so I am thinking to update my profile in CRA as the only applicant without spouse accompanying to get the ITA. Once I submit the documents after receiving ITA, we plan to move to Ontario and apply for BOWP for self so I can work legally in Canada. However, can my spouse also apply for dependent BOWP and she can still stay with me in Canada? Once I get my PR confirmation, can I still sponsor her inland PR?

Appreciate inputs on my queries above. thanks!

If you list your spouse as non-accompanying, your spouse will not qualify for a BOWP.

Yes - once you get PR, you can sponsor your spouse inland.

Thanks for your reply... Is there any other option she can still stay with me, while my PR is under process?
