I got the document list in 2.5months after reporting the marriage, so I think they will get back to you soon, is your spouse inland or outland? If your spouse needs a police certificate in Canada, its better to do it in advance cos it takes almost 2 months to get it now.

Hello, No I am outland and my spouse is also outland. I have gotten all the documents ready, just waiting for them to ask for it. Will it be fine if I just fill all the forms since they are same for everyone and submit everything through webform? i have been depressed beyond means as to why they are not asking me for these documents, its taking its toll on me

For outland applications everystep of the process is time consuming. My application was inland… after I notified ircc about marital status change they did not give me any instruction kit after notifying in response i got generic afghan response that, they will from now on only respond to priority inquies only but notifying ircc about marriage is in one of the priority inquiry…
that did not made sense to me i thought they did not even read my inquiry
So i tried calling ircc explained the situation to the officer is that this is what happened and officer sent me instruction kit right away…
I suggest calling ircc about this… but you are outland so I’m not sure how you will manage that…

best option for you to read all the thread info posted by group members earlier… and send those documents through multiple webforms

Can you please tell me how to call ircc, I can buy a virtual number and call them. I would appreciate if you could tell me how to reach them. They did reopen my application quickly and later acknowledged in another webform that it has been sent to responsible officer.

this above is the link for that: -

note: you can only talk to IRCC officer from Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM other time is only automated response.

right now it's already past 4pm so I do not think so you can call.
Thanks alot for your response. I will call them in the hours mentioned by you. Can you please let me know what documents they ask for, I have an idea of these docs reading previous threads. Are they still same?

this is what they have given me in the instruction kit: -

this is a pretty basic set of docs they will ask you in the instruction kit.

I suggest you read whole thread and do your own research I uploaded quite a lot other than the required above docs.
