When applying for Canadian PR as a couple through Express Entry, deciding who will be the principal applicant is crucial. Points are awarded for both partners’ education, language skills, and work experience, but the majority hinge on the principal applicant’s credentials.
The principal applicant gains points for age, foreign work experience, and even French language skills. 📈🗣️ Choosing the right person can significantly impact your CRS score!
Consider another key factor: the principal applicant must be present in Canada first. 🛬 This could affect who takes on this role if one partner needs to arrive later.
Calculating your combined CRS points helps clarify who should be the principal applicant. You may assume your profile is stronger, but your partner’s language skills or education might provide an edge. 📊💡
Though each person can have an Express Entry profile, only one can receive an ITA first. Both partners can, however, create separate profiles, increasing your chances!
