Hi everyone,

Could you please share your CEC timeline when a spouse was added after ITA due to marriage?

My timeline:
  • AOR: March 24
  • Biometrics (Primary Applicant): May 26
  • Wedding: May 17
  • Spouse added under dependent in gc key: July 27
  • Medical: August 20— both primary applicant and spouse updated
  • Eligibility: Completed
  • Information Sharing: Completed
  • Security: Completed
  • Criminality: In progress for 3 weeks
  • Spouse BIL: Still not received
  • Spouse fees & biometrics fee: Paid upfront
  • Application: Outland

Should I be worried about the criminality taking this long? I’ve seen some applicants get their criminality passed within 3–4 days, but mine has been in progress for almost 3 weeks now, and my spouse still hasn’t received a BIL.

If anyone has a similar case, especially CEC applicants who added their spouse after ITA due to marriage, please share your timeline and experience. It would be really helpful!


Thank you!
