Hi all I am not sure if this is allowed but few days ago I created a whatsapp group for this topic that has a total of 23 members now. If it is allowed I can share the link to join here.
Hey Can you add me to whatsapp group or telegram.
I sent IRCC webform about adding spouse 6 months ago and got no reply. How exactly to reach out to IRCC for spouse addition?

Sending webform is the way. Other than that, you can try to call IRCC directly.

Could you kindly tell me how many days it took them to react with the email for paperwork and submitting passport for cancellation of copr? As I am in a similar scenario, I requested them on February 18th, and they responded on March 12th with an email indicating they will evaluate and notify me in due time.

How long do you think we would have to wait to get second ppr, I added my husband after I got my copr, he just completed his biometric Jan 20th 2023.

Just wanted to update people on my brother in law's spousal add on....he applied Feb 2019, COPR Feb 2020, married and returned COPR, spouse docs submitted Mar 2021. I submitted ATIP request Mar 2022, heard nothing back. Numerous letters to MP, etc. with same response, still in progress. Submitted two more ATIP requests in Jan 2023 - one for him / one for her (different UCIs, same file number) and within a week he received request for biometrics. When she did that, within hours received request for additional documents (pretty much all the same documents that they had already submitted but I assume they can't make a decision on documents that are so old). He'll submit them this weekend. Not sure if the background checks are actually done already (hopefully) and if they will require medical redo for him especially.

She's pregnant and due in September and so I really hope this can move quickly so they can land before she has to deliver...

ONE key lesson learned - when I submitted previous ATIP request, I just indicated that I was seeking GCMS notes on the file however when I submitted the recent requests, I provide a brief application timeline and indicated that it has been almost 4 years from the original application date and almost 2 years for the spousal add on.

The ADR came from the London office. Not sure if that's significant or not.

Have to say, I'm a bit frustrated with the system....I know the volume of applications is unimaginable and we're trying to respond to a few crises here and there. Just hope they can find ways to improve. It just goes to prove you can't give up and honestly, I think I was being too polite by not simply resubmitting the ATIP request (I never did hear back from my first request in Mar 2022 and I'll likely head to the federal offices and ask for my money back.)

Nowadays it doesnt take long before you get second PPR. If all is fine after medicals you should get it max 2 months
