Adding spouse to existing PNP PR Application

- Start date
Hello everyone. I am a Saskatchewan Immigration Nominee Program Candidate. I have few questions in my mind if anybody know the answer please help me. My information is below:
Federal File received by IRCC - November 2016
Federal file number issued - January 2017
Got closed work permit based on SINP - April 2017 for 2 years
Asked for Schedule A - April 2017
Asked for Medical - January 2018
Went to India in February 2018 and got married
Asked for Schedule A - March 2018
Informed IRCC for spouse update - March 2018
Asked for correspondence ( Documents to add spouse which icludes upfront medical) - March 2018
File was fully uploaded with spouse information in April 2018
Now I got 2 emails fron IRCC yesterday i.e August 1st 2018. One email contains Medical examination request and in second email I was informed that my application/ file has been transferred to the Winnipeg IRCC office for further processing and they asked for few documents again like Offer of Employment, Education credentials, Language Abilities, Proof of funds, Schedule A, Additinal family information, police certificate and medical examination
My question is:
1. Do my wife has to do the medical again or the upfront medical which was done in April 2018 will work?
2. When I first submit my file my IELTS was valid but now it is expired so do I have to do IELTS again?
3. How much funds do we have to show in bank as they are asking for proof of funds and documentation to support my economical establishment in Canada?
4. And why did they send the file to Winnipeg IRCC? How much more time will it take as I am already passed 19 months

As far as I know
1) Nope she doesn't. I believe the letter says "If you haven't submitted..."
2) Nope
3) Just show your bank statement, there is no specific criteria (or number). Your current employment will also be supporting your claim for economical establishment.
4) No one exactly has the idea why, but many cases have been transferred to the local office (for additional verification). Good thing is you got the medical for your wife. So its just that last phase of waiting. BTW 19 months timeline doesn't hold for you anymore.
For your ADR, you can write an explanation letter mentioning which of the requested documents have already been submitted (IELTS, Medical, uploaded documents etc.)
Thank you so much for your help and all the information.
For the medical it doesn't say "if not yet submitted" it says " required only if you have been sent a request to update your medicals" (which we got for her) and also says " We require proof of completion of a new Immigration medical examination. Once you have had your medical exam, please include a copy of the receipt to our office as part of your submission package." And they underlined "new" in that message due to which I am confused.
Any update ? Same situation here waiting for the golden emAil
I think it will cause a little bit of delay after adding your spouse to your application
and also it depends upon the background check Of your spouse..which includes travel history ,military background etc.
It will cause also a bit slow of your application if you apply an open work permit of your spouse outside canada.. be patient and wait for the best to come.

Its the same letter. You can check with the agent by calling them , but most probably they will suggest you to mention it in the explanation letter that you already have submitted your medical examination (in case if they haven't received then you have to check with the doctor where it went missing)
I don't think it is related to adjacent application for work permit. Because these are two different categories, for e.g. each category will send you medical request separately and not just one request. However people do submit there results / medical receipts if they have taken it recently for one of the application. Still at their end its two different set of application with different numbers.
Did you pay the application fee right away or they will ask to pay. Please let me know because I add my spouse name about 8 months ago still didn't get anything but I did not pay the fee yet and my wife is in back home. Not sure what will be the process now.
Call centre representative told me , they have transferred my file in may 2018 to local visa office ( Winnipeg) for further assessment. Nothing else. Still awaiting
When you add your spouse name did you pay the application fee right away orCIC will ask for it.
Its upto you. U can pay upfront or wait for them . In my case . I paid upfront.
Thanks
