Getting married EAPr but wife not accompying

[avian12]

Hi all,

Crucial timeline here. I’m leaving from the us to india in a few hours. Will submit my EAPR prior to departure.

I am going to be married in about 5 days time in India. My question is, when I raise a CSE about marriage, and I mention my wife will not be staying with me, will they still require her documents?

I’m considering this because I do not want to extend the timeline and she does not have any documents ready.

Thanks,

Yes, you'll need her Passport, PCC, Medicals and POF for 2 people in this case. Its better to get her documents ready and apply together. You can add her in your application before you land in Canada, so you still have time.

Best wishes for your wedding!

Just wanted to follow up on this:

Got married about a month ago, but waiting to see if I should add her to my file or not. Is there a timeline by which this needs to be updated?

If I do not add her, would that cause an issue? Only reason I am considering not adding her is because it would extend my timeline. (she does not have any documents ready).

Thanks,

If you finish the landing process while declaring being single then you will never be able to sponsor your spouse.

I'm at IP1, so I guess I still have quite a bit of time. Will start her paperwork
