Hi - have a question. I submitted my Express Entry (FSW) application and got the AoR in 2019. Silence from IRCC for 5 years.
I got married in Nov, 2023.
Then, I got a request from IRCC to upload new PCC, Medicals, on June 3rd of this year. I did all these things, but there was no place in the online IRCC account to upload a letter of explanation saying that I got married and would like to add my husband as an accompanying family member. No button to upload, no matter how many times I refreshed the page or tried on another browser. So I sent a webform with this information, instead.
Now, yesterday, I got the passport request letter telling me to book an appointment with a VAC within 30 days. But, here's the problem - I DON'T KNOW if IRCC registered my change in marital status from that webform. Because they didn't ask for husband's PCC, medicals etc. I'm assuming they probably didn't?
Questions:
1. Should I go ahead with the VAC appointment in 30 days? Because it feels to me like they've approved my application without realising that I'm married (again, this is an assumption).
2. In general, is a principal applicant expected to book an appointment along either the accompanying family member at the VAC?
3. The VAC website mentioned that the passport request letter can be used to book an appointment at the VAC only ONCE, so I'm scared that I'll be wasting that one chance if I go without being sure that they registered my change in marital status.
Thanks in advance for your help!
