TLDR: Does anyone have experience changing from common-law to married after COPR and landing with just a local marriage certificate?

Long version: My common-law partner and I are getting married after submitting our passports and getting the COPR, which we received under common-law status. We plan to send a webform to IIRC to inform them right after the wedding.

The issue lies in getting the marriage certificate for proof. In the Philippines, the official (PSA) marriage certificate will take several months to process. We can get the local civil registry marriage certificate, but at least for spousal sponsorship the IRCC requires the PSA version.

Do you think it will be fine to land in Canada with just the local marriage certificate and a promise to send the PSA one when it's ready?

Thanks for any insights.

I am on a study permit and today I received a job offer and my only hope is for my PR application to be processed as soon as possible to accept this job offer because I can't work full-time on my study permit. My PR application is stuck on the security check, which has not started since June 2023. Is there any way to speed up the processing to be able to go with this job offer? Or nothing can I do?

Hello Guys, wanted to share some good news !
I got the first email from IRCC requesting details like presence in Canada, Last date of Entry in Canada, UCI information etc.
Question - I got one such on my personal email ID since I am the principal applicant, which I replied with mine and dependent details. But a similar email addressed to my wife was sent to our immigration lawyers team. Is this normal? Do I need to resend the information one more time in response to the email they sent to our lawyers.
