There is no use in sending the passports because your wife's app is still being processed.
Hey Sub,

What's the current timeline or status of your application since IRCC acknowledged receipt of ADR's for spouse?

Hey Sub,

Its been little over 4 months since I submitted al the documents. I included my wife's PCC and Medicals as well apart from the usual IMM documents. I see here added to my profile and a UCI number got generated. But, no updates after that. Waiting for BIL and a request for any other additional documents. It looks like your Timeline and mien are almost the same. I have requested for a GCMS notes and I will know something next week. One question for you. Did the online portal get updated on the Medicals being passed?

To be frank, your timeline looks healthy. I spoke to and reviewed timelines of many who had added their spouse after COPR or PPR and many don't even have their medicals passed even after 6 months. In my case, I submitted my docs on May 15th and till now no updates except my wife being added to my profile. Hang in there!!!

Congrats. Quick question. Did they ask for Proof of Relationship when they asked for spousal kit? Also, was your initial POF above the threshold for two people?

Yes, they did ask for Proof of relationship initially on the first ADR kit which we duly submitted. However, the second time round they were more interested for additional evidence post-marriage as we were residing in two different countries due to our current employments and they required more convincing of our status.

The initial POF documents shared was sufficient for one person, and once the dependent was added it went under the required updated threshold for two people. Hence, we had to submit an updated version.
