Adding spouse after AOR
- Thread starter Samurai89
- Start date
It's for our wedding, so changing our travel plans seems unlikely haha. And we'll be back to the US after 2.5 months. Do you think it's okay to ask for an extension for 3 months? Is there any risk in doing that?
You could ask. But what reason would you give? According to them, you are already married.
I added her as my common-law partner, not spouse. So, wedding is a good reason for the extension, right?
Latest update:
Review of medical results - June 29, 2022:You passed the medical exam.
My spouse was added to my account portal yesterday, and shortly thereafter, we got a request letter for his medicals. However, I had previously sent proof of upfront meds for him via webform and also directly to my portal in a mega file with other requested documents. Do I need to do anything else for them to link the upfront meds to the request letter? Thanks in advance!
Would love to see more examples of people's timelines for the successful addition of spouses after AOR till the request for PPR during the year 2022. Would appreciate it if they can be shared to provide us with some insight on the current date trends 
Our current timeline looks like this:
15-Mar-22 - Request for the passport (PPR) for the primary applicant before the request to add a spouse (wedding took place on 27-Mar-22)
12-Apr-22 - Informed IRCC about marital status and change of circumstance through a webform
31-May-22 - Letter of additional documents request (ADR) of spouse sent by IRCC including to pay the processing fees
23-Jun-22 - ADR documents submitted/ uploaded through our online profile portal with upfront medicals
02-Jul-22 - Awaiting biometrics request
Note: Just to add we are also an outland application

Please I will love some clarification from you with regards to the EE pool. My wife entered the pool as single but has to be withdraw her profile due to an error she noticed. However, her new profile was created when we had gotten married but her marital status was maintained as single. I want to ask if her profile can be edited to reflect her now marital status, do we need to create a new profile or wait till he has an ITA. Thank you immensely.

We have just got BIL for my common-law partner. This is the timeline of the spouse adding:
-23rd Dec 2021: notified IRCC about my common-law status.
-11th Jan 2022: received a list of documents from IRCC and I submitted them via webforms one day later.
-2nd Feb 2022: my re-medical exam was passed
-3rd Feb 2022: they acknowledged the receipt of submitted documents.
My criminality check expired and was followed by a long silent wait.
-6th July 2022: common-law partner added to my portal profile and BIL for my dear.
Such a tedious process. "Express Entry" my @$$!!
PS: I have double-checked and see that my partner's upfront medical exam also has been passed today! HOORAY!
