Hello everyone, looking forward to your valuable suggestion if you know for sure, if you're confused or not sure please pass.
  1. I received an ITA for the Alberta Opportunity Stream (Non-Express Entry) PNP and have already applied for the nomination. After that, I also received an invitation to apply for PR through CEC, and I want to submit my PR application under this. Can I have both a PNP nomination application and a PR application through Express Entry active simultaneously?

  2. On my Express Entry profile, I did not include my wife, but I did include her in my PNP nomination application. if I receive the PNP nomination and apply for PR with my wife later, will that be allowed, considering both PR applications (One EE and another non-EE) might be active at the same time and one will have my wife included while the other one will not have her included.

  3. If I apply for PR under Express Entry without my wife, will she need to leave Canada before or after I apply for PR? If yes, can she come back on her Work Permit later before I get my PR?
 
You may have to justify how your wife is not accompanying but is currently in Canada.
Would it be easier and hassle-free if she leaves Canada for a year, and once I have my PR, then I apply for her PR?

If I mention that I am sending her backhome because my parents and her parents are old and need someone to take care of them, do you think this will be a good reason to convince IRCC?

If not, what other options do I have?

You can wait and see whether spouse being non-accompanying in Canada becomes an issue or not.

Well, not really. I will apply without her anyway. However, I am assessing the risk factors to take necessary precautions. And I appreciate your assistance. Pleaase, let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions to make the journey smooth.
