Does a spouse need to meet any requirements if their husband/wife is applying for PR in Canada on their behalf?

For example, if a family decides to move to Canada and the husband has found work there before arriving, does the wife also need to have a job or is it just sufficient for her to stay in the country for the required amount of time?





Thank you.Does a spouse need to meet any requirements if their husband/wife is applying for PR in Canada on their behalf?
Each adult applies for Permanent Residency individually.





The husband applies for PR as a skilled worker/professional, then, if he receives Permanent Residency. only then can he sponsor the family. Sponsored Family Class immigrants are not required to demonstrate employment, since they are sponsored.





Alternatively, the wife can submit her own skilled worker/professional PR application, but yes this requires employment.
