If you are applying for immigration through the Express Entry system with your spouse, you are going to be scored differently from single applicants.
Express Entry uses a points-based ranking tool called the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The CRS evaluates candidates on various factors, which IRCC views as demonstrating a candidate’s ability to succeed in Canada. These elements include factors such as education, language ability, and Canadian work experience, among others.
A candidate is subject to the CRS whether or not they are single or coupled. However, the way they are scored changes somewhat depending on their status. A coupled person can receive less base points than a single person, but can also gain points from their partner.
Canadian Visa Expert: Canadian Immigration Expected To Rise Rapidly
MARKHAM, ON, May 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/
Canadian Visa Expert is preparing for a substantial increase of people around the world applying for immigration to Canada during the second half of 2021 and extending at least through 2022.
There has been an upward trend in the number of immigrants moving to Canada each year, rising from 271,847 in 2015 to 341,180 during 2019.
This increase in Canadian immigration is partly due to the attractiveness of Canada as a good place for immigrants to live and work abroad, but also a result of policies enacted by the government to attract more foreign workers to help fill thousands of Canadian job openings.

What is Express Entry?
If you are eligible for Express Entry, you will get a score based on the CRS, which awards points for a candidate’s age, education, work experience, language ability in English or French, and others.
Canada’s immigration department, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) regularly holds Express Entry draws, inviting the highest-scoring candidates to apply for permanent residence.
