According to Legalfalcon, when you don't see your dependent's name in your online portal, it means that IRCC hasn't processed them yet. Your next step is ADR for all the documents again, but this time they let you upload them through your online portal. That was the process for several of us. But you don't know when you receive that ADR, perhaps days or months.
Adding spouse after AOR

Thanks @maghool71. I received a message on my portal this morning asking me to upload all those documents again. I have a question regarding the fee payment: My partner already has a Canadian visitor visa, so her biometrics information is already with IRCC. Do I still have to pay the biometrics fee in addition to the RPRF?
Great news! No, don't pay it again. At least I didn't pay again. I know some people who did. But they haven't seen faster results so I'd say no don't pay again.
That's great. Congratulations. Can you tell me your complete timeline please? Thanks.
Hi @maghool71 , I have another question. In the documents IRCC has requested in order to add my common-law partner to my profile, they mention:
- Updated Generic Application Form for Canada IMM 0008 for yourself and your spouse or common-law partner (CLP);
My understanding was that I only need to submit one updated IMM 0008 with my partner listed as a dependent in the same form. But their letter mentions "for yourself and your spouse or common-law partner" (see above). Does this mean I'd need to submit two separate IMM0008 forms? Thank you!

I received an update. That medical results are passed. Is that the next step after BIL usually? BIL was done on 6th April 2022 for spouse. Anyone in the same situation?
Also, what are the usual next steps? And timeline from here?

Sorry about the late response, yes, just ONE form for both of you. add your spouse in the dependent section.
If your medicals are passed and you've already completed bio, it's probably PPR after!! Did you do upfront bio for your spouse or did you receive BIL?
I did the upfront bio since she had visitor visa. But still they asked for biometrics so did that as well.
How long does it takes after BIL and medical? Any idea about general timelines?
No, no idea at all. Hopefully not more than a few weeks if they already passed your background check.
I got married on 10/11/21, notified thriugh webform, list of required docs received and then I've sent all the docs of my wife and forms through webform and it was acknowledged by ircc on 03/02/22 that it will be added in 2 days, on 20/04/22 i received a remedical for only myself. Should i go ahead and do it or wait for my wife's medical request. She is not yet added as dependent to my application.
