[Happysoul26]

We have to wait more hopefully we will get update soon. Do you know Anyone from winnipeg office with same waiting time ? Have they got any update?

No, i only know people from Vancouver that's why i thought your application must have also moved

Thank you.

Also when you added your spouse how much did you pay? Was it the same amount you paid when tou submitted or another amount?

You can add your spouse only after the marriage
But if you don't want to wait any longer you can land before marriage and then can apply for spousal sponsorship, but that will atleast take 1 year

Thank you.

They told me to pay landing fee, may be $1050 I don’t remember exactly.

Should I get GCMS notes? Is there any use in getting one? Will it further delay my application?

There are people who have added their spouse in Jan with nothing started as yet so you can imagine

But you never know they may fasten the process next year, so let's hope for the best

About the gcms notes, i have not applied for it because of the same fear that it will further delay the process, so can't advice you on that

I also remember it to be around 1050

The required docs are badically the same for all. This is the email I got from SGVO:

To advise us of a change to your family composition, please send us a signed letter via mail or email, providing us with all required changes to your file. The following information must be included in the letter if we are to make the changes:

- full name,
- date of birth,
- file number [Letter followed by a nine-digit number],
- telephone number, including area code,
- mailing address

As we require your signature on this information, please note that your current family composition has not been amended in our records.

How to add your spouse to your application:
In order to add your spouse to your application, we require the following documents:
· Updated IMM0008 Generic form and updated IMM5406 “Additional Family Information” form for yourself
· Schedule A Background Declaration form, and a Family Information form completed and signed by your spouse
· Processing fee for your spouse (if accompanying you to Canada)
· Notarized copy of the birth certificate of your spouse
· Copy of your spouse’s valid passport
· Two recent passport-size photographs of your spouse according to the specifications
· A copy of your marriage certificate and marriage registration
· A few wedding photographs
· Police clearance certificates for any country in which the spouse has resided in for 6 months or more since turning 18
· The Right of Permanent Residence Fee will need to be paid before a visa can be issued to your spouse (if accompanying you to Canada)

There is a confusion on IMM0008 whether spouse needs to fill it out too, but only the PA needs that with the spouse name on it.

IMM5406 is to be filled out separately by you and your spouse. Schedule A is for spouse only.

The medical exam is not on the list but sent it upfront too. So far no ADR has been asked yet. His name with UCI was added in my account on 20-Dec.

Edit: Yes, that’s the email address. I am calling this number +1 (613) 944-4000 using Hangouts.

Hi, Can you please help me as to how to upload all the documents. I have no place in my profile to upload any additional documents.

Do I need to send the hard copies via courrier or email it to them?

 

[simranj72]

I submitted her docs on 26th Jan.

Received meds request on 15th Feb.

Can you please let me know, how did your upload the documents. I have only received an email acknowledging my marriage and asking for submission of docs within 30 days. But I have no place in my profile to upload the additional documents, where should I send them the documents.

There is a place for uploading the additional documents. On your account there is an option called view application. In that you can add additional documents. There would be a spot already available in that for your wife.
