Should my spouse and I apply for PR together or separately?
- Applying together as a family unit — one spouse as main applicant, the other as dependant — is generally stronger, as ICA assesses the household holistically.
- If one spouse has a significantly weaker profile, a staggered or separate application may be more effective. The right approach depends on both profiles.
