Hi all,
I have similar question but different situation. My brother's file is still in process for MPNP. He received the call last week form the office and the officer asked him few general questions. At the end he said they will take another 10-15 days to finalize the process.
So back to my concern, my brother is already married and his wife is in India. When we initially applied it was for both of them(to MPNP) but the officer mentioned(hint) that when he receive his nominee then he should apply for Federal just as his own file. Once he receive the file number then he should add his spouse to the application.
My brother is already married. Isn't it weird?

I added my spouse in april same like you nothing update yet but when i called them they said they transfered my file in winnipeg and they will do my background check again and after that they will add spouse name on file so its depends upon the officer and file situation i keep calling them every two week
In this case you should also keep calling them and ask them on what stage your file is ask them did they complete background check or what ask file location so you can get idea how long it will takes
Any update

Don't worry i guess by next month you will be getting your MR.
I am still unable to figure out why CIC is transferring file back to the originating office.
File transfer reason : complex case.
File in a officer's que and will be processed accordingly

Did the agent say that its a complex case? I would like to believe it would mean case other than the regular ones (after adding spouse).
