Getting married after PPR

[Darko986]

Hi Darko986.

I just wanted to ask. how much total time it will take after informing CIC of marriage post CoPR in below cases
1) If the wife is accompanying
2) If the wife is not accompanying

Secondly in the above IRCC webform, the question asked is in which office the file is processed. how can be ascertain that in which office the file has been processed. I had applied for Express Entry in Delhi

Thanks

Processing time depends on more factors (travels, background, etc.), but average time claimed on this forum by other members is between 4-8 weeks after addition of spouse. There's cases that got decision after just a few days and others waiting for more than four months.
It won't make any difference regardless what you choose( accompanying or not). They still have to process your wife.
How come you don't know your visa office? Where did you send your passport for stamping?

Thanks for the reply.
My passport went to Delhi visa office for stamping.

Regarding Time taken, I asked because somebody informed me that If I put my wife down as as accompanying , then the whole process would get start from scratch as CRS score will be recalculated. Is it like that or will they just check their documents and provIde PR if there is no issue with backgroud check etc

Hey Darko986,

I sent an email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca notifying them of my status change.

The email was sent on 26th of March and I got the reply on the 28th of March.

Dear Sir,

Can we in India also email to Ottawa regarding marriage status change rather than CSE as it seems much quicker and also my email mentioning CoPR mentioned Ottawa as the primary Office???

Yes of course you can. Better do both, send emails and raise a CSE to be on the safe side. No harm

No CRS points recalculated after getting ITA.
If they reprocess you also they would require to submit your form and docs also, which they don't. You only submit docs related to your wife and her informations.

Seems like PPR is just around the corner. As per my knowledge RPRF request means your file is ready for approval.
Did you submit medicals?
What is your visa office?

Hi !

Thanks for your reply. Well I’ve already submitted medical, all necessary forms and fees before two months. I don’t have any idea about my visa office. I hope I’ll get good news very soon

A lot of members on this thread use the term "'after adding of spouse'', but does this mean after submitting additional documentation online OR after she is added to the IRCC online portal with a UCI number?
In my case my spouse got UCI and was added to IRCC portal one month after submission of additional documentation.

So what is the start point when claiming processing time??

 

[save_me_plz]

Already married.

I am in the same situation. I have one paper(OINP Masters) and one EE application under CEC. Do I need to do all the ceremonial marriage or can I do a court marriage and then do ceremonial marriage later. would they require photos ?

Hi All,
I am also in same dilemna.. I have sent my passport today for stamping. My wedding date is fixed. It will be in February. I know I will have ample of time to go there and come back for my wedding. However, I need to know what is the minimum time period, one needs to stay after landing and what is the process to come back and go back again?

Also, what do you suggest, should I go to Canada before wedding once or shall I go after wedding?

PS: I will sponsor my husband later.

Please help.

Thank you

Ok guys I have a question.
I got my ITA last month. As regards POF, I am showing gift deed from my parents. But that's equal to POF amount required for one person i.e. me.
I plan to submit e-Apr this month and I will be getting married in Jan i.e before PPR probably and intend to add my spouse to my application in Jan.
However my question is after marriage if I get my name added to his Bank Account i.e hold a joint account then can the funds that are lying in his account be used for him as POF? Or do I have to show funds for both assuming I am the principal applicant?
I am kinda confused on this. Can anyone help?

Hey Drako986,

I also belong to Vienna VO. I added my spouse after getting married in August and submitted her documents on 19th September. I did receive a PPR before I added her. Did you hear anything further from CIC. Did you notice any status changes in Additional documents section?

 

[hirenraghu]

I got my PR one month back. My parents are asking me to get married to my long time friend.
I would be doing a court marriage before the registrar in India.
Will that be a problem?

Based on the responses in the thread, you should get married, then inform CIC about your marriage, provide them proofs, submit documents for husband, again COPR will be generated for both of you and THEN you go. If you go now, get PR and then return to get married, getting PR for husband would be a totally separate process and take many months.
