A member who created their Express Entry profile as a single applicant received an ITA from SINP (NOC 0911) and asked whether it was advisable to add their spouse as an accompanying family member before submitting the SINP application.
What the thread clarified:- You can still make this change even after receiving your nomination. Members confirmed that adding a spouse to your Express Entry profile isn't locked in place once you have an ITA — you have flexibility to update your profile before final submission.
- Multiple members with the same NOC (0911) were in similar situations, exchanging experience letters and comparing notes, suggesting this is a common scenario worth planning for ahead of submission rather than treating it as a last-minute fix.
The practical takeaway: if you got your SINP ITA as a single applicant but want to add your spouse as accompanying, you can still make that change to your Express Entry profile even after nomination — it's not a fixed, unchangeable detail once the ITA has been issued.
