Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding my PR. I recently got married and the next day I got the letter from Canadian High Commission to submit my passport for PR. When I applied and through the whole process, I showed that I don´t have any dependents. I was planning to update my status. Now I only have 40 days to submit my passport. I want to find out whether it is a good idea to update my status and send my wife´s passport as well or just send my passport and apply for my wife´s visa later on.

Thanking you in anticipation,
Imran Khan.

Hi Bro,
Quite a tough query here. I think its never to late to update ur marital status but 4 sure it will delay ur application. If I were in ur shoes I will send a case specific inquiry to CIO and hear what they say. But u could post this same inquiry and hear from others at http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/applications-after-266-in-any-noc-connect-here-to-get-the-status-t49421.20760.html someone might have done some similar inquiries,

It's a typical query . Better wait to get opinion from seniors. Or shoot an email to qorax or any other senior member.

Hitman since you are now married, your best bet is to inform them you are now married and they will issue yoy spouse with medical request.
It is worth the update even though it will delay things a little bit.Failure to update them will make your visa null and void if you collect it now. It is even cancellable at the point of entry. If you were just waiting to get married,i would have suggested you wait but for now it is not worth the hassle.

He doesn't have a choice, his martial status has changed, so he must inform the processing office. He will have to amend his application, include his wife's application with police certificates and education documents,pay the fees, and wait for medical instructions. If he doesn't and he "lands" in Canada, he can never sponsor his wife, as she will not be a member of the family class. It is quite possible for him to be removed from Canada for misrepresentation.

Hi guys,

Much appreciated for your response. I have managed to update them and have got the information. I am currently struggling to find the following forms if anyone can provide me with the links.

1. New Schedule 1/Background Declaration form and New Additional Family Information form IMM5406
2. IMM8 form


Thanks again for all the help.

Senior members,

A question, do we need to update CIC if sibling's marital status has changed. Thanks.

Fully agreed with Senior Gem PMM
Don't delay or ignore as it might be a sorry story like what shared in following link.........

Dear friza
have a look to the case and question of the "the". I have similar question to you , "should an applicant inform the visa office of "Bro/Sis is/are Married " in the additional family information form? please suggest Master!

wishing for your upcoming PassPort Request!

To my understanding unless they are accompanying probably not needed at this stage.. but if you are asked to so by some reason (probably when you will have to update your new baby/family info) the basic IMM form (personal/family info) you can do the amendment that time...
I am not a Master.. my friend..... still at very early stage of learning....from our GEM Masters of this forum and you know who they are!!!

Absolutely right you need to inform them if you marry before landing. You can go back and marry after landing, it is no crime.
