CanadaPost-Graduation Work Permit1

I am on 1 year study permit and want some suggestions if I should go for 1 more year of post grad program based on the below factors: 1) My spouse came with me on Spouse open work permit and is having a full time job. 2) My 1 year program ends on April 2023. 3) Assuming I have completed my 1 year program, I calculated my CRS score and it comes to 476 (Mine and Spouse points combined). 4) I will reach to 476 points in September 2023 (After my wife completes 1 year) So wanted to understand, is 476 decent points to get PR? Or it’s a big risk and should go for 1 more year of program?

Go for another course - 8 months duration shall also suffice to get a 3 years PGWP. Considering CRS scores are very high + Processing times have increased too for all visa types, so securing a 3 year PGWP is critical.

How did you get spouse dependent Visa, I have heard in Canada you don’t get study dependent visa like the US. Please guide me, I want to apply study Visa for Canada with my family.
