Once you inform them, do you know that they are going to start the process almost from the begining again !

They will cancel your visa right away, re open your file add your wife to the file, start their investigations to make sure that the marrage is genuine not fraud "just to get the canadian citizenship", make their background check on your wife, and wait untill they receive the results of her background check, ask her to submit police clearance from each country she has lived in after the age of 18....etc.


After all, if they are satisfied with the above information, they will send her a medical request, and she will have to pass it. However, before the medicals, if anything went wrong in the results of the above information, or she could not submit police clearance from any country she has lived in, both of you not only her, will be refused addmission to canada, as a result, your application will be refused and closed.

So i can say for you "Good Job" i really do not know who has adviced you to make such a decision "getting married 3 months before the visa issuance" thinking that they are gonna add her to your application and give her the visa just like that !

Couldn't you wait until you become a permanent resident to marry her and sponser her ! at least you could have guaranteed your permanent residence if anything went wrong in her application "background check....etc".


Specially in your case, because the marrage took place that late, they will check this matter in a very deep base to make sure that the marrage is genuine.


Even if your wife does not want to immigrate to canada, they will not exclude her from sending the police clearance and that stuff, and if they found her inadmissible to canada for any reason, you will be inadmissible too because of the fact that she is your wife.

Man, your analysis is way off. I didn't do this to get my spouse a PR!!! she doesn't care about immigrating. She does have a job here in USA.  My question was if I should update CIC now or never. Based on other replies I will get my PR card first. Then will see what happens.

No i did not make any analysis, i just told you how they are going to think in immigration canada once you inform them that you got married 3 month before getting the visa.

IN the visa office, they are not going to take it with the good intention, they will as usual doubt the reason of the marriage at this time even if your wife is an american citizen and does not have any intention to immigrate to canada  because once (for example) you inform them before you land, and they add her to the application as a wife regardless of including her in your PR process or not, she will have the right later to be sponsored by you as a wife, and that is what they do not like to happen until they make sure that the marriage is genuine.

I am not analyzing anything, you asked a question based on the facts you provided, and i gave you the answer based on the facts they deal with this situation.
