Among other forms and documents, I have been asked to fill IMM5406 and this is what it says in the request letter 'A separate and newly completed Additional Family Information form (IMM5406) bearing original signatures updated to include details of your spouse.' This gives the impression that I, being the principal applicant, have to fill just one form with my spouse's details included in it.

However, when I open the form it says at the top 'A separate and newly completed Additional Family Information form (IMM5406) bearing original signatures updated to include details of your spouse.' This gives the impression that it has to be filled twice ie once by me with my spouse's details and once by my spouse with my details.

Can you pls clarify?

Thanks.
Both of you need to fill IMM5406.

Regarding PCC, my spouse used to live in a different city in Pakistan right up till marriage. Our marriage date is 20th Jan. So the dates for the first PCC are simple ie from birth till 19th Jan (a day before our marriage) at her previous address.

Does she also need to submit a second PCC for 20th Jan (ie from marriage) to present for her new address which is in a different city?

Thanks.

I've been making some transfers to my dad (who was the donor of the gift that I showed as POF) from the POF that I submitted at the time of applying on the basis of which I received the COPR which has now been cancelled after addition of spouse. Now I'll be needing to show POF for 2 persons. I hope to arrange the funds by the submission date which will again be in the form of a gift from my father. My question is will those transfers have any effect on my application?

Yes, if IRCC realizes you lied about having the necessary funds, it could be a problem. It is only a gift if you don't pay it back.

That is what the other member said, if you have read any of the posts in this thread, you already got the answer.

If you get married before you land, inform CIC. You will be asked to return your COPR, submit documents for your spouse, accompanying or not, then you will be issued a new COPR with married status.
Hi iamxty,

I need your expert opinion about this issue. I have my COPR with expiry date end of March 2019, however I am planning to get married around 10-15th of March to be able to add my spouse to my application and get a new PPR visa for both of us. I will contact CIC one I got married, however I am worried that they will not accept to add my spouse or I wouldn't get a reply back before the end of march due to the short period. I am worried that at the time they reopen my application they will find that my COPR has expired.

Hi Guys please help me with the following timeline

My GF just got the PPR and have submitted the PP

Plan to marry in May

If we do marry should we send a mail to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca on the status change? which would result in her VISA getting cancelled and both of us getting a PPR after we submit my documents and so I can land with her. Can anyone tell me if there is a chance that she may not get the VISA after i also put in the documents

Or

Could she land and I also accompany her with Travel VISA and start a inland spouse sponsorship process?

Okay thanks. Meanwhile I've submitted my documents and have been asked to provide biometrics for my wife and her medicals for which I've been give IMM 1017. I can see that her name appears in the Documents Upload window but no placeholders there against. What should I do? Thanks again in advance.
