Hi dear, could you please explain How much time does ircc provide after raising webform to join spouse name after marriage?

[@canadavlogs218]

I was given one month but it’s always case to case since this is not a regular scenario

[@ekisharajendran6083]

Hi! Great video! Will keep this in mind whenever I have to get married ! Will you make a video for once a person has a PR and then they get married (this is spouse visa?)

[@dipeshgoswami3999]

Hello Sir, I have one question I recently got ITA for the draw of 75 CEC ( Not accepted invitation yet). I got engaged in Jan. So is it better to get married soon and update the profile or should I accept the ITA and submit the file and after 3 -4 months get married and update the file at that time. like even if they recalculate my points with married status is gone be higher than 75. so I am very confused. can you help me, please?

Hi, i have submitted my application since Dec 2019. However last month I got married. My spouse is already canadian PR for last 2 yrs so i dont need to sponsor him. What will be the process in this case? Waiting for 3 weeks after raising webform here.

[@himaniadlakha97]

Thanks for this video. I have another question. I received my COPR and passport stamped on 23rd, July and received marriage certificate on 27th July . I was waiting for marriage certificate before I inform IRCC about the change in marital status, got married in Apr '22. My visa has an expiration of Nov, if IRCC fails to check spouse documents by then, will they extend my landing date?

[@canadavlogs218]

Yes they will extend if they are unable to process spouse documents by that time - relax it’s a defined process. The only thing is IRCC might question about marriage in April, informing now, which is quite a delay, please add letter of explanation for why you did this

[@himaniadlakha97]

@@canadavlogs218 hey! Stating I was waiting for the marriage certificate, it was a delay from government officials. - looks like a valid explanation to you?

[@mallikamadaan2113]

Hi sir, I applied for Canada PR under CEC and got married after receiving COPR and visa but before landing. So I informed IRCC by raising webform and emailing Canadian high commission New Delhi. It’s been more than a month and I haven’t heard back anything from Delhi embassy.Although I did get a reply from IRCC canada in response to the webform with bunch of forms to fill and docs to submit. My spouse won’t be accompanying me to Canada. Will I still need to submit the forms

[@canadavlogs218]

CEC means you were in canada at some point so the question of Landing is not applicable here. Yes, you need to fill the forms For the delay, no one can help, in covid everything is slow but getting better

Hi, very informative video. I’ve a query, I’ve followed the scenario 2, submitted the documents and waiting for the medical request, its been more than 2 months. • To whom should I follow up next to get the update asap? • How long will it take to receive medical request?

Hi, I have a question. I am planning to get married in December, and during that same time, I will be applying for my PR. This is my scenario. My fiancé lives and work in Canada 8 months out of each year for 10 years so he can easily get a work permit and apply for himself and get through with his PR in 6 months. Could it be a case where I can apply for my PR, add him to application and not pay the processing fee etc for him? So in essence, all I would do I inform IRCC that I am married but he won't be a part of the processing etc. going to Canada.

[@canadavlogs218]

1. If he’s already working 8 months here does he not have work permit already ? 2. You have to pay the application fees if you add spouse, that cannot be skipped 3. Looks like he’s applying his own PR, you are doing yours so why add each other ?

[@julisa6644]

@@canadavlogs218 Yes he has a work permit, I meant to extend his work permit and apply for his PR. My question is, even though we would be getting married we could apply separately by using different ways or by different programs?

Hi thanks for the video. Hope you can help me in my little situation here. I got my Ready For Visa mail today . I am residing in Abudhabi and will leave to India the day after tomorrow for my marriage . Now I am confused whether to submit the docs today in Abu Dhabi and then later apply for change in Marital status. Or wait till my marriage 23 March to update my application ( raise webform) . The major concern is the 30 days deadline. I will be back to Abu Dhabi after this 30 days deadline.

[@varshanair377]

Hi thank you for this informative video. 👍🏼 I am in scenario 2 situation. Got married after getting COPR. Informed IRCC in June 22, COPR expires in November 22, and haven’t heard anything from IRCC yet. So should I travel and make the first landing before it expires? Or wait for a reply? Kindly help..

[@canadavlogs218]

If you travel then you can’t add by this way then you have to sponsor. Submit multiple web forms, also try to reply on the same email from where copr came

[@girlpowerVV]

Thank you for this video. Please clarify my below doubt : I am planning to marry my fiance who is a primary applicant after eAPR is done. So, I will be added as a secondary applicant. I have enough money in my account to show as POF for both of us but my fiance doesn't . So, in that case, if I marry my fiance after eAPR is done, can he show money in my account (secondary applicant account) as Proof of Funds. Will IRCC accepts this?

[@canadavlogs218]

Replied to your email 😊

[@surajkhandelwal1]

Hello.. I m also in the same situation... but when I submitted my application for PR I was in Canada , then I returned to India and got married.i informed IRCC and also asked to change the address as now I m in India. I recieved an email from IRCC to submit various forms via web form. But how will I get to know whether the address has changed or not. They haven't asked for passport yet.

Hello bhai Is there any other way to inform IRCC about marriage other than the web form. My agent said that's not the right way. I don't know how to add on my spouse in my PR application.

[@parulkochar3684]

Hi, so what happens to the PR process in case two people who have applied for PR separately and have submitted docs, that is they have completed eAPR step, decide to get married. And what will be the further steps to inform about it?

[@canadavlogs218]

Good one. So one of them has to become primary here Then the process to inform remains the same as I mentioned on the video. Both applications won’t be processed as one gets added to the other

[@siddhantkapadia2904]

In our case We both applied individually. My wife's ITA never came but my application got processed further. Now after getting married our consultant has asked me to add her to my profile. I'm too worried that it shouldn't hurt my score. Plus the consultant said my wife doesn't need to take ielts as also given in your video. Is there anything I'm missing out here?

Hello, In my case, I am in New Zealand. I got married in 2019 December and stayed with her for only a few days. I came back to NZ and applied for a visa for her. Unfortunately, Immigration NZ has stopped overseas applications and still now, it's not open. I am very frustrated and planning to go to Canada via Express Entry PR. Am I eligible to include her in my Express Entry profile as my spouse? OR I need to show the living together relationship with her for at least one year? We had a culturally arranged marriage. Thanks so much in advance for your advice.

Either you can continue your application or withdraw. If you continue having Canadian PR spouse I believe will add some points, do recalculation, find out If you cancel, then spouse can sponsor, that’s a longer process though

Subscribed !! Thanks for sharing information . Can you please tell how much extra time would it take to do processing as in my case 6months period was already completed after eAPR and then i requested to add my spouse to the application.

[@canadavlogs218]

I assume you were not previously married , got married after submitting eAPR , added spouse. If yes- It’s hard to tell the exact time as it’s always case to case. Never go by 6 months what’s mentioned on the CIC website as that is very generic. That being said after adding spouse it took us 3 months.

Hi, Thank you for your video, I am in the same boat. I got married 3 months after the submission of my e-Apr. I have made submissions for my spouse but my lawyer told me that the CRS points are recalculated but my application won’t be going back to the pool. I am not sure of this anymore. Anyway, we made the submissions for my husband by last week of July. I have following questions: 1. My lawyer is insisting that I should be in Canada ASAP. He says it might delay the processing of my PR. I am not able to fly due to the current restrictions from Canada on Indian commercial flights. I have been in India since mar 2021. Although, I am working remote. 2. If we get a PPR, is it okay if I submit when I am in Canada and my husband is in India? 3. Is there a generic timeline for how long the processing takes. I submitted my e-APR as a single applicant in January 2021. My husband’s documents and documents related to proof of marriage, all was done on July 27.

[@canadavlogs218]

Your lawyer doesn’t know the law then 😆 He/she must be a consultant, not immigration lawyer Once you land you are PR, then if you want to invite your husband it’s only via the spousal sponsorship route which takes about an year No fixed processing times specially during situation around COVID, they are short staffed Details at the bottom of this page: show this to your lawyer www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/express-entry/assessing-electronic-application-on-section-a11-2.html

I was anyway going to get married to the same person in a traditional wedding but I want to get the marriage registered as quickly as possible before getting PPR.

Even if you do traditional marriage, they still need marriage certificate. Court marriage is absolutely acceptable, just give reason for why not doing traditional, coz mostly in India we would do traditional. Mention something like covid/we wanted to keep it minimum etc etc
