Hello everyone,

I am a FSW application in the post AOR stage.

I am intending to add my wife to the application. I was recalculating our points in the points calculator and I see that our points increase if I add her; however, I was browsing through the forum and I see that there are no IELTS documents or documents for WES are asked for her. Is this true? Will she not have to give IELTS and get her credentials certified? we want to go to canada together and I want to ensure we are not doing any document or process mistake.


Thanks a lot for your reply.

This is what happens when you try to do DIY ! Although there are no requirements, adding your spouse's IELTS score and her WES assessment will increase the overall points of your application and you should have added your wife in the very first place. Not declaring your spouse constitutes mis-representation under section A40(1) of the Immigration & Refugee Protection Act and you will not able to later sponsor her under section R125(1)(d) of the Immigration & Refugee Protection Regulations.
 
Hello Singh,

I got married post AOR. I have done the research that the points wont be recalculated, just not sure if she needs to do IELTS and ECA.

Thanks!

You will have to add her to your application. IELTS and ECA is not a requirement for her if you are the principal applicant. She will get zero on those areas in the CRS. Do you have a Job offer or PNP. May I ask how many points you are accumulating?

Spouse/partner added after AOR will not affect your CRS score as long as the marriage or the common-law relationship happens after you already receive your AOR. However, the spouse/partner's admissibility will directly impact your application result: if he/she is inadmissible for medical/criminality/security reasons, your PR application will also be denied as well.

@faheem7791 you just raise a webform and tell them of the change in family composition. IRCC will share the necessary list of documents with you.
