Adding spouse after getting P1/P2 request

[Joh12@]

Hello, anyone in a similar situation, where marriage happened post AOR in express entry and received P1/P2 and is adding the spouse to the application. I received P1 on jan 15 2026, replied with the marital status change which happened in dec 31 2025, but received the P2 today. I would really appreciate if someone can share their experience on this. Thanks

I would NOT rely on the email response alone, as appears above to be the case (I'm assuming).

Write a webmail ASAP. Prepare and submit - via webmail - updated forms (update/add all relevant forms as would have been required if you'd been married when you submitted). Call IRCC to confirm.

It is VERY important to submit and get some kind of written response (eg webmail submission reply) so you can demonstrate you did advise. Email or phone call alone is not enough - you need some kind of evidence of submission (not all emails are received at the other end, you will not have proof of what was discussed by phone).

And you should be posting in the express entry or other forum(s) relevant for the most apt responses. You are not sponsoring your spouse.

Thank you so much. I will do that.
