getting married while application is in process

[rubycute]

I am planning to get married but my skilled worker application dated Apr. 18, 2005 is still in process, my inquiry is, will this change in my marital status delay the processing time for my application? What will I do or submit after getting married? Please give your inputs. Thanks in advance.

It shouldn't at this stage, your spouse will have to submit, IMM 008, Schedule 1, copy passport, pictures, birth certificate, marriage cert., IMM 5406 , PCCs and any local forms required, as well you will have to amend your IMM 008, Schedule 1, and 5406.

PMM,

Thanks for your reply, I heard that a delay in my application will be possible as my spouse will have to undergo medical examination and security check. My plan is to sponsor my wife only after I arrive in Canada for this is what I think is best so as not to delay my application. Whats your advise on this? Thanks again.

If you marry and then "land' your visa is no longer valid and your spouse would not be considered a member of the family and can never be sponsored.  As you probably not have had medicals as yet there should be no delay.
