Marriage before coming to Canada

[schitra88]

Hello,

I got my PR recently and got my passport back with the stamp. My question is

1) Can I get married before I land in Canada? Will my PR be invalid as a change of circumstances if I get married before landing. Is there any other options for me.
2) Can I just land in Canada (apply my PR card) and return back to India with in 2-3 weeks to get married? If yes, what are the options for me to help my husband to come to Canada.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Once you land, you cannot add your spouse to your application and will have to sponsor your spouse.
You need to raise a CSE once you're married before you land. your visa will be cancelled and then a new PPR and visa will be issued for you and your spouse.

It's better to marry before and inform IRCC of course but that will put you back into the process of a few months.

Thank you tobs,

My COPR expires in JULY. My husband's file is not yet started. So, even If i wanted to file his application I need to start from the beginning which would put my PR visa in risk.

what could be the issue I would be facing if I wanted to sponsor the spouse? I know it would take little longer for processing. but is there a way for my husband to come stay with me in Canada by any chance.

Thank you EE 456,

My COPR expires in JULY 2019. I need to start from the beginning to file his application (apply WES evaluation, police clearance and IELTS) which would take atleast of 2 months and this would put my PR visa in risk.

You're welcome. Does he have enough points on his own ? If not, then the score would be recalculated and as long as your new score is still above the threshold, only his security and criminality would have to be done by IRCC. Of course, PCC and medical would have to be done for him.

No. If you marry after your application has been approved only your spouse's medicals & PCC will be requested. No IELTS or ECA needed. That's your best option. For sponsorship you'll have to ensure you have a minimum amount when you get to Canada and the process takes 12 months.
So if you get married this month you can add your spouse easily and probably get a new PPR by July. Just ensure you communicate with CIC.

If you spouse can start the PR process on his own, then you can land and he'll apply as sponse non accompanying.

No, he don't. He needs to improve the score by getting higher IELTS score. And won't we need WES evaluation for him?

What would be the issue for me if I return back from Canada within 2 to 3 weeks (after I land first time) and get married here and then go back to Canada once I receive my PR card (friends will mail my PR card).

Can my husband get a visiting Visa and then come stay with me? And then can I start processing his application?

Wes eval is a must if he were to apply on his own.

I discourage you from having your PR card mailed, you can get a PRTD instead. You can go back to marry him but you will only be able to sponsor him then which has lots of requirements.

Visiting visa wouldn't be so easy because you're a PR and he would have to prove that he will go back to his country after the visit. But, you can sponsor him once you fulfill all the requirements for that.

My advice, get married now, inform IRCC and submit his PCC and medicals, then you go together.

Visiting visas can be hard to get.

Thank you so much for the info.

So, it's just medicals that I need of him?

And, what is this spouse non accompanying? He could start his process on his own where I would also helping him in applying. Could you please give me any link that is related to this. I didn't know about this process.

Also, please can you provide me any link regarding adding my spouse to new application?

Your help is much appreciated.
