It will take some time to show up on my CIC. I guess a month or so as per my understanding. They have just received the documents so once they check all the requested documents are there, they will issue UCI to your spouse.

No, you and your wife will get PPR together since you have added her to your application.

inland, from China
1. BC pnp application received 2015.2.10
2. Nominated 2016.4.6
3. Application Received 2016.5.20
4. AOR 2016.8.16
5. Started Processing 2016.8.16
6. Married 2016.10
7. Reported marriage 2016.11
8. Medical exam 2017.4
9. Add spouse to application 2017.5
10. Required spouse's Canadian criminal record check 2018.1.30 , sent by email 2018.2.12
11. Ready for visa 2018.5.4

I think adding spouse to the application slow down my processing.
My friends, a couple did medical exam at the same day as us, but she ppr in 2017.10.
Another friend, we shared the same timeline before I got married, he ppr in Feb 2018, which was 3 months earlier then us too

After nearly 3 months of providing additional documents about my wife, my additional documents status changed from "We are reviewing the additional documents you've provided" to "Not applicable".

Seems like the only thing remaining is the background check, but I can't say for sure.

Hi

My PNP timeslines are as follows
Application received- 6 march 2017
AOR- 6 April 2017
Started processing application- 7 April 2017
Got medical request - 1 march 2018
Medical passed - 28 March 2018
Got married- 18 april 2018
informed CIC about Spouse- 22 April 2018
CIC asked additional docs for spouse - 25 April 2018
Additional Docs submitted (including spouse upfront medical and questions for main applicant and spouse )- 2 may 2018
Now myCIC account is showing reviewing additional document you submitted.

I have Bridging open work permit. in addition to this i am thinking to go for one of the following options
Wife work permit and work visa
Reapply visitor visa (my wife applied for visitor visa before marriage but it got rejected)
express entry (other pr file)
Which option i should choose out of these 3?

thanks
