After waiting since 23rd March (AOR received ) I sent off a case specific enquiry to LVO. Their generic response is below:


Dear Sir / Madam,

Our office will contact the applicant when a decision has been made or if further information is required. Immigration decisions and information requests are sent by post or email to the addresses provided in the application.

Good to know. But why will your case officer reply to your inquiry telling you its awaiting review , rather than just reviewing the file . You cant just understand how those guys operate..also how long did you wait for the reply?

At Ottawa, files are assigned to visa officers for review/processing at Regular intervals. While a file is not being processed/reviewed then it's kept in some virtual location like "QC Inventory". I found out a cool trick to know if anyone is working on my file or not.

Send out email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca with your application id EP00XXXXXX as Subject line. If you get generic automated reply within few hours then it's in Inventory and not being processed. If you do not get reply then it's means that your email was routed to Visa Officer's email queue and he/she may choose to send a non-generic reply or chose to ignore the email.

Does the ottawa case apply to other VO? Does your trick work with the case specific inquiry as well? I know some people who received responses to their inquiry and It was a generic message exactly as the one above but no initials . Does this mean their file is in the inventory queue? Is the generic reply an aknowlegement of receipt of message saying they will get to you soon?

I didn't have to wait long..got a reply within 24 hours. Maybe what Appnov2014 said applies here too and I'm still stuck in some virtual queue. I don't know.

Hi Everyone,


Please, find my timeline below:

Applied for CSQ : Apr-2014
Received CSQ : Aug-2016
Federal applied: Oct-2016
UCI : Feb-2017
RPRF : upfront with federal application
Medical : Nov-2017
PPR : waiting

Now, I want to include my spouse to my application. I have few concerns regarding my application.

Please, find my situation below:

- I have a marriage certificate for the date of 14-02-2017

Situation:

After applying to federal (CIC) in Oct-2016 as a single, I married to my wife in Feb-2017 (arrange marriage).

I have not yet updated CIC about my marital status change.

1) Should I inform CIC about my marital status change and include my wife in current application?

- Can they cancel my CSQ if they points for me and my wife do not match existing CSQ criteria?
( My degree: B.E. in Information Technology
My work exp.: 6 years as senior software Engineer
My spouse degree: M.E. in Computer Engineering)

- How much time it may take to add my wife to current application (for CSQ + federal) ?


- Should I update my passport by adding spouse name in it or it will work without updating it ?

2) Should I add my spouse as a non-accompanying in the current application and sponsor her after landing ?

3) Should I land to Canada without informing CIC about marital status changes and then I need to do re-marry her and update marriage certificate date?


- If I don't inform them about marital status change and later if they found that I was already married at the time of Landing then they may deny my spouse for the lifetime and may cancel my PR ?

- What are the other consequences for that ?


Please, suggest me the best possible way to overcome from this situation.


Thanks in advance.

1- how did you receive MR in Nov 2017 when we are still in October 2017?
2- i do not know what arranged marriage is but if the marraige is a genuine one( with marraige certificate) then i will advise you to update cic. Normally the procedure is to get csq for spouse from midi and send to your VO with updated forms. Or you can just update your VO and they will send you a list of documents to send. It may or may not delay your processing time but at the end you and your spouse will land as PR
3- if you do not want to inform cic, thats your choice. When you become a PR and want to sponsor your spouse, the case officer may notice this descripancy and that you married way before your PR application was approved. Meaning you did not inform them of this change, so they can assume you lied on your application or was hiding something or mispresentation. Only heavens know what they will do to your application to sponsor or even your PR status.
4- if theres nothing ti prove the union , like a marraige certificate, that means its a common law and if i were yoh i wont bother updating cic unless there is a child involved. I will just wait to become a PR then marry and sponsor

5- if i were you i would marry and update cic while my application is still in process. Me and my spouse will land as PR and this would save me a lot of time and the stress of sposoring where i have to go through a lot to proof admisibility, wait for more than a year for more than a year for a decision

Thanks minesweeper for your valuable suggestion.

sorry for the mistake.. I have received MR in September not in November.

One more thing, I haven't informed CIC or MIDI within 30 days so if I inform them now, will it create any issue ?
What they can ask in this case ?

The important thing is to update them on your civil status. Especially as you have a marraige certificate dated about 8 months earlier. Not sure if they will question you about it now that your pr application is in process, but am sure they would if you update them after you get DM. You are almost 13 months into processing meaning a DM is around the corner. If i were you i would update them asap
