Pathways for Canada Immigration with Spouse

You can consider the following immigration pathways to migrate to Canada with your spouse:

 

Express Entry System

You and your spouse can apply for Canada Permanent Residency through the Express Entry system. Your spouse can be declared a secondary applicant while you are the primary applicant. Dependents can apply through the Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP) or Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) under the Express Entry Program.

 

Each spouse has to create their Express Entry profile and mention the other as primary or secondary applicant. You can get an additional 40 points under the CRS score calculator while applying with your spouse. A high CRS score will increase your chances of getting an ITA from the IRCC.
