Including Spouse in PR application

[khanlov]

This might be a bit off topic but I think this forum is the best place to get an answer.

When I applied for PR ( Buffalo) was single. Earlier this year I got married and now want to include my wife in this application. How do I proceed? Fyi, she is overseas and not in Canada.

Any help/ resources would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks Can1122. I really appreciate that.

One more question, how does it work? Do they process it in US or do they forward application to home country and what is approximate timeline?
