Status change after passport stamping

[Amby_87]

Hi,

I had applied for PR under Express Entry and I have received visa for PR and have had my passport stamped.
However I am going to be married in a few weeks and hence have to inform CIC befire landing. Have a few questions.

What is the process if I want to add my husband to my application?
Will my score be recalculated?
How much time it takes for the spouse to be added.
?

Can someone please guide.

Thanks.

1. You have to inform CIC before landing and they will ask for your husbands' docs and proof of marriage.
2. Yes, your score will be recalculated with the accompanying spouse and it should not be less than the minimum cut-off during your ITA.
3. As far as I have read, it takes anywhere from a week to 2 months.

@Amby_87 your points will not be recalculated whether accompanying or not.

Do i need to mail the visa office before i get married to make sure there is no problem.

Also, what is the procedure of informing CIC about status change? Any link?
