My brother AOR june 2020 and got married in jan 2021 then he added his wife in application and send all the documents after that his wife also given biometric in march and today we got email below
Your application and all of the documents you submitted in support of it have been reviewed and it appears that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.
I am writing you this letter because I have concerns that you no longer meet the requirements of Section 11.2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). I note that you submitted your application and have been rewarded Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points on the basis of your marital status as “single”. As you have indicated that you are currently “married” and you wish to add your spouse as your accompanying dependent in your application, resulted in a loss of points that brought your rank below the lowest ranking person who was invited to apply in your draw. As per Section 8 of the Ministerial Instructions respecting the express Entry System, you do not currently meet the minimum entry criteria.
You retain the option of having your application assessed with a “non-accompanying dependent” and sponsor your spouse as a member of the family class in the future. As a result, your CRS points remain unchanged. You may also wish to withdraw your current application (E001542307) and re-apply for another application under the Canada Experience Class with your accompanying dependent.
Please note that if you choose to submit a new application it would require new fees and documentation and you would need to meet all the requirements in effect at the time the application is submitted.
However, you must meet the minimum requirements to enter the Express Entry pool and there is no guarantee that you will be issued another invitation to apply for permanent residence under one of the immigration programs subject to Express Entry.
If you wish to continue with your current application, you will have 7 days to complete and provide me with an updated application for permanent residence. If you do not comply and/or if the required document is incomplete with this request within 7 days, your application will be assessed based on the information currently on file and may result in the refusal of your application.

I just inform through webform along with my wife's passport and marriage certificate to IRCC and then after 2 weeks I received an email with the below above forms and other documents it's been a month I have summited the fee as well for my spouse ,However no update@ S sharma
thanks for your response. I also got married recently and I informed IRCC about the change in my marital status via webform. They replied me and asked for the marriage certificate only which I’ve sent to them. I found it a bit weird Cos I was expecting them to tell me to fill out a couple of forms just like they told you. When you contacted IRCC to inform them about a change in your marital status did you also inform them that you wanted to add your spouse to your application? I just want to know if I’m on the right track or if I’m missing something here.
Please let me know.
Thanks
Ok thanks for letting me know. I’m wondering why they didn’t ask for other documents from me. Maybe because I didn’t attach my spouse passport? I only sent them the marriage certificateI just inform through webform along with my wife's passport and marriage certificate to IRCC and then after 2 weeks I received an email with the below above forms and other documents it's been a month I have summited the fee as well for my spouse ,However no update
It seems like IRCC doesn’t have a standard procedure anymore for these things. They actually asked you for more documents than me. For me, they only asked me for marriage certificate and they coined the email as though I was married before submitting my application. You can see their response to me above (after informing them of a change in marital status, which was over a year after I submitted my application).Hello everyone,
-Resident in Canada on temporary work permit
- AOR - Dec 11th, 2020
- Medical passed - Jan 15th, 2021
- Got married to a non-resident on April 27th
- Updated IRCC on change in marital status on the next day(28th) through the webform
Got this email the following week - May 9th
I got a list of documents to be mailed to Case Processing Centre in Edmonton, Alberta:
and
- A new Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008),
- (If applicable) A new Schedule A - Background/Declaration Form (IMM 5669),
- (If applicable) A new Additional Dependants/Declaration Form (IMM 0008DEP),
- The add-on request including:
- your client ID number/UCI,
- a detailed letter of explanation,
- a copy of the birth certificate, marriage certificate or proof of common-law relationship, and
- if applicable, the proof of payment.
BUT this list does NOT contain police certificate, medicals and IMM 5406 which I've been seeing as part of the requirements for people who just got married and want to add their spouse. Is anyone else in this situation or can anyone help with useful information?
Hi, Regarding this, I did the same, however, when I submitted through a web form, I missed some information on imm5669. Therefore, I re-submmitted imm5669 using webform with LOE. Is this fine?1. It's for your spouse
2. If you have anything to explain then write it in LOE
3. Yes, they might be requested at a later stage, at officer's discretion
4. You need to upload all the documents via webform.

If you have shown pof as part of your application then yes it needs to be updated.While adding spouse, I received a request letter from IRCC with all the documents that need to be provided. There was no mention of updated proof of funds. Do I need to still provide one ? Or can I provide this proof later as it is not asked right now ?
Please help.
