Wedding after PR documents submission. Spouse addition?

[krugger2009]

I got my ITA for express entry and have 20 more days to submit documentation. I'm planning to get married in 3 months and considering adding my spouse to application after wedding.
My question is-
1) If my PR application is approved by the time of wedding, can I still add my spouse to the application?
2) If my PR application is in pending status by the time of wedding, what is the process to add my spouse to the application? Will this cause a significant delay?

Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Prithvi

1) You can add your spouse any time before completing you landing process in Canada, provided you have the points more than the minimum cutoff for your draw, after adding your spouse.
2) You have to raise a Case Specific Enquiry and tell CIC that you are married. They will ask for the relevant docs and the processing time will still be the same for most of the cases.
