Hi Zardoz, I've got a similar story. I got my CoPR in February 2019, however I got married in April 2019 and informed CIC through a web form.
Submitted the additional kit along with the spousal information and her Medicals on the May 14, 2019.
Its been dead silence since then, ofcourse there's a UCI number issued to my wife, but no progress on file since then.
It's been over 2.5 months....

I've written emails to the NDVO where my file is getting processed however nothing from them.
What's the advise that you can give.
what is the status now?

Hello friends,

I found following information on this forum.

Marriage Scenarios (Point 3):-

Marriage after COPR before Landing: They will take your COPR and reopen your file. CIC will issue new CoPR for both of you. CRS will NOT be affected and you don't even need IELTS/ECA for spouse.

Question: How this works for a person who is already working in Canada on a open work permit? I am currently in Canada and working full time. I have received AOR and expecting to get application approved in May 2019. After I get my COPR, can I leave Canada and get married in India and show my wife as unaccompanied spouse? She will not come with me immediately in Canada after marriage. In this case, will she also get COPR at Port of entry if I show my COPR copy and marriage certificate? Also how long can I wait for flagpoling with COPR in hand? Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Hello All. My application has completed 6 months, as of 23rd November 2020, and my medical is valid till 23rd July 2021. I plan to get married in April 2021. My question is, can I still let my application get completed as single ? Secondly, upon landing and receiving PR card, would I be able to sponsor my spouse without any issues ?
Thank You

You cannot land without your spouse after you get married. You can add your spouse to the application after you get married (it does not lead to recalculation of points) and get to land together.

Thank you for your response. One more thing, do you know the list of documents that would be needed to add my spouse, if she would be accompanying me ? I cannot find the details, or I am not able to search using the right keywords maybe.

Who said landing without spouse is not allowed? Dependents can land after primary applicant lands. Stop giving false information, if you don't know then refrain from answering.

"Your dependents can’t arrive in Canada before you. They must arrive with you or after you. "

If your spouse already has a PR and is in Canada, IRCC will then require spouse to be added to the application as non-accompanying. @Arshdeep31

Please check this with others too.

I recieved CoPR in Feb 2021.I got married in Dec 2020.
CoPR expired in April 2021.
Sent documents and email for updates in file, recieved following response.

"Our records indicate that you notified us of this change after we had issued you a Confirmation of
Permanent Residence for you and your dependents, if you have any. Please understand that we will
require that you return this document as well as your passport(s) with your permanent resident visa(s), if
applicable, in order for us to cancel them. You must provide us with these original documents in addition
to the other requested documents for us to continue with your application process."


Does this mean I need to send CoPR document and Passport to IRCC Delhi via VFS?

Hi raajsindha, I am in similar situation. Could you confirm if you received COPR and how did you add your spouse, was it before or after marriage?
