You'll need to have 470+ points for EE to be feasible. If you're in that range, then definitely give it a go. First steps are to get your education officially assessed and take a language test. These are prerequisites for creating an EE profile
Regardless of which immigration option you pick (EE or spousal sponsorship), you are likely at least 8 months away from being able to work in Canada. So you need to be ready to wait this out and be able to live without income for at least 8 months (maybe longer).
The only way to work faster would be to secure a job offer and approved LMIA from an employer in Canada. However this likely wouldn't be that much faster. First of all, very very difficult to find employers willing to go through this process. Secondly, LMIAs are easily taking six months right now. (And the you need to apply for the work permit on top of that).
I would first calculate your points under Express Entry. As said above, you really need to have more than 470 for this to be a feasible option. If you don't have enough points, then look at PNP and/or spousal sponsorship. PNP processing times tend to be quite long so I would say this is probably the least favourable option for you.
Just an FYI agree that although it would be unusual for a country closing borders to own citizens there are countries who by default make it difficult for any one to travel back such as Australia for example where at one point they cut the number of inbound flights and therefore new arrivals down to about 4000 people a week. Also that country did ban virtually all international travel out of the country other than assume authorised compassionate.
Not sure but NZ may have taken a similar approach so by default even if not intentional countries make it difficult for anyone to travel.
The main Australian airline Qantas for example has as I understand it suspended all normal international operations until at least mid 2021 and similar with AIR NZ other than mainly cargo
As for flying being safe then people can agree to disagree but being on a plane is possibly safer at least than the actual airport part of a trip.
Anyway this was just for info even though the OP did not share which country they come from but travel for now is not as straight foward as it used to be
