In a tricky situation My CRS points without accompanying spouse is above the recent cut-off score. My CRS points with accompanying spouse is 478, which is well under the cut-off. I'll also lose extra 5 points due to age at the end of this year. Should I apply alone and then sponsor spouse later? Note: Spouse is on OWP, inside Canada

CRS drops below cutoff with an accompanying spouse: apply together or apply alone and sponsor later?
I'm in the same boat, with CRS 473, which goes up over 490 when I apply alone (without accompanying spouse).
Sponsoring is a bit cheaper but more complicated. For crs of 478 i would suggest to apply together
Sponsoring later takes time but if your wife is with you in canada i beleive you should be fine
