I have recently received my passport with Canadian Immigration visa which was applied on family basis and passport was sent for issuance of visa before my marriage.

My husband resides in UK on immigration visa; I therefore would like to know whether I should apply for UK dependent (Migrant) visa before my first entry at Canadian port as within Canadian Immigration document my marital status is single.

Please provide your opinion on the matter above and what could be the issues if UK dependent visa is applied before making first entry at Canadian port.

I understand that PR card is applied after arrival and on that should I mention my marital status or after receiving PR Card.

1. If you didn't include your spouse in your application, your visa is invalid. Didn't you read the instructions about changes in family composition?
2. You have to return your COPR and then amend your application to include your spouse. Ask for instruction from the visa office.
3. If you "land" without declaring your spouse, you can be removed for representation, and you if you are not removed, your spouse is not a member of the family class, and can never be sponsored.
