I need advice from you guys.

I applied for oinp employer job offer international student. Now i live with my fiance and i will be marrying her after i get nominated.

What is the best time to add her in my PR application as a dependent ?
while submitting mine ?
or some later stage of the application ?
or after PPR ?

which one of these is usually faster way ?

Thank you in advance.
Inthink bestvoption is add her first and then submit ur file. If u add in the middle at any point it takes longer.

Agreed to this suggestion. If you add her at the provincial level and then send your file to federal (including your wife) it would be smooth (19 months Maximum or before) but if you do it later it will put your application out of the regular que (no time limit applications). Even if you add after getting nominated that would be okay, just inform the province that your marital status has changed.

I already did and they are saying that now they cannot do anything. Wait and watch it’s a major change in the file so.
I called them and they said same thing to me that its a major change and they have never seen somebody adding spouse after ppr. So she was not sure about anything regarding my file. But when i came here and checked foums i see ao many people who added spouse after ppr or landing. Whenever i call cic i never get any satisfying answers.
