Hello Ankur,

Post medical do we need to upload or email e-medical acknowledgement which we received in hospital?
Did u submit your spouse docs via email or uploaded in CIC portal?
What is Document change Fee required for? I didnt receive that request.
Thanks.

Hi All,

I'm in a similar situation and stumbled upon this forum post. I happened to get married soon after my PPR and was completely unaware that this would trigger an additional review process. I assumed, naively, that since I applied as a single applicant the change in status would have no bearing on my PR application, and my spouse would need to apply separately under Express Entry.

Below is my timeline.
I applied for Express Entry - FSW
  • AOR: September 18, 2018
  • PPR: January 31, 2019
  • COPR/PR Visa Arrived: March 6, 2019
  • CIC Request Letter: March 29, 2019

I informed IRCC of my plans to get married proactively on receiving the passport request (on Feb 15). I got married on February 22. However, despite repeated communication via web forms and via email to CPC-Ottawa on my change in marital status, I only received a formal Request Letter in my CIC account on March 29, 2019. The request letter states that my COPR/PR visas will need to be return and cancelled, and my spouse will have to be assessed (Background, Security, Medical). There's a list of required documents (PCC, Passport, Marriage Certificate, Evidence of Relationship, Medical) and Forms.

I submitted all these documents and forms on April 8 (yesterday) through my CIC account. Any insight into how long this process might take will be very helpful. Also, do I need to return my passport with COPR immediately, or later on in the process? The wording on the Request Letter is a bit confusing.

Thanks!

Hi.

How long it took for you to see UCI added in your profile after submitting all the docs for spouse?

I am in the similar situation. Submitted all the required docs to add my wife via webform on April 14th. I still don't see any UCI added to my profile nor an acknowledgement email saying they received the docs.

Little worried. My 30 days deadline in the PPR email gets done in next 3 days.

@sawab don did they ask for your spouse documents? I am in the same boat received a email on Feb 28th that they have reopened my case which i can also see on cic website it went from being approved to processing. after that nothing, I called them and also raised case specific enquiry but all they said is to wait. and they haven't asked for my copr and passport to send back, but the agent on the phone confirmed that they already cancelled previous copr issued as it was expiring soon that is why they did not ask for passport, instead they cancelled it on their end. just hope they ask for our new documents soon.

I didn't get COPR. I just got PPR email on March 26th.

At that time I replied back saying I got married and wanted to add my wife. No reply to the email.

Then I called them, And they sent some forms to be filled to add spouse via webform.

I uploaded docs via webform on April 14th.

Still no acknowledgement of my request nor new UCI is added.

Hi guys ...i have a small doubt ,may appear bit dumb ...my wife will be having full work rights as a PR holder in Canada right ?
since while adding her as a dependant they never asked any of her education /language certificates. So just had this small doubt ...please clarify if possible
