We didn't send any chats or photos upfront. When I originally sent the add-on request for my wife, I submitted all the required docs such as IMM0008, etc. The reason we submitted upfront medical was because my wife had already done her medicals before we sent the add-on request because we needed it for her spousal open work permit. Since, we had her medicals already, we thought why not send it now. If they need it again, they'll ask for it.

Recently, I had an update on my account where the status of the medical went from "We are reviewing the results of your medical exam" to "You do not need a medical exam" to back again "We are reviewing the results of your medical exam". I hope we get the approval soon. It's been almost 2 years.

Hi everyone,

My file for PNP PR is also under processing. I have cleared the medical and Now I want to add my spouse to my current application. As mentioned on CIC website, I raised an enquiry through web form but the reply I got was vague and they didn't even ask for documents. How did you guys inform CIC about the change? How long it took to receive a reply from them? What all documents I need to prepare.
I shall be very thankful to you for your quick reply.

Regards,
Saurabh Sharma

Please find out , if u can apply for your spouse's pr after getting ur pr .
If u got medical . Jst wait for your pr then apply for ur spouse's pr . Inform them that ur are married but dnt add spouse's file.

I m not sure its possible or not . But seems like this is the best way to go.

No, it is not possible.

If you are married, your spouse's name has to be added to the file. Otherwise, if you obtain PR without adding your spouse and go at the border to do landing, you WILL be rejected because it will be considered as misrepresentation since you are married but your file says you are single.

So technically, you have to add your spouse even if your spouse is not accompanying you because it is IRCC's mandate to ensure that you and your spouse receive PR at the same time. Either that, or you wait for your PR first and then get married.

No mate ! I did inform cic about my marriage. a bunch of forms are sent to me for adding my spouse along with my application. If you don’t let them know now that you’re married you won’t be able to bring her in canada for life. That’s what i know

Agreed to this. You have to mention you're married and they will send you forms about him/her (no matter if he or she is accompanying you).

Here is my timeline, I hope it may help some people to get an idea
applied PR on july 2016.
Got married in april 2017.
Added wife in may 2017.
Name added on file in july 2017.
No reply until 18 months which was in january 2018.
contacted cic that i already crossed 18 month of proccessing time. She told me she is going to put a note right away on my wife then officer will contact you. After 2 days on january 18 officer contacted me via email that criteria for my application changed so there is not processing timeline. we are doing additional checking and told me to keep the correspondence with them minimum. Exactly after 10 days they sent me an email to send them relationship questionare form and couple of other forma to fill including wedding pics, online chat etc. But unfortunately i did not recieve that email. As they told me to keep contact with them minimum, I did not contact them for 2 months. Then i contacted them on 25th of march regarding this and they told me we asked you additional documents you did not reply. So i describe the situation and they sent me email again. Then after all i recieved medical request for me and my spouse this thursday so did medicals on friday. Now waiting for medical passed status on cic.

Hi,

Did you send any forms at the time of adding your wife (in may 2017)? Or was it just at the time when they ask you about the relationship?
