It seems if husband is on study visa and I’m on sowp, then I would be a dependent, hence even after 1 year work experience My EE cannot be considered for cec as I can never be principal applicant (C41 and C42). Please guide how can I get PR from my EE profile while I’m on sowp and husband is on study visa ?

On a SOWP while your spouse studies? Members say you can still be the principal CEC applicant

Where did you find that you cannot be primary applicant with your experience being a sowp? I will be in the same situation but I always thought that it is possible for the partner to present an RP through EE-CEC after some canadian work experience.

Your experience gained with a valid work permit will count towards CEC requirements. Even if your temporary permit is depend on your spouse's status, you can be a primary applicant in a PR application
