Hi Everyone
I applied for PR under express entry for me and my wife. Recently we received the passport request for the visa stamping. I completed the process and received the COPR as well. But now my wife is not willing to come to Canada and she didnt send her passport for visa stamping. The 30 days duration to send the passport also have expired. What will be the impact on my Permanent Residency?
What should I do next.
Please advice.

As long as you are the Principal Applicant, you can go ahead and land in Canada as a Permanent Resident. Then you need to sit down with your spouse and discuss your future....

Hi.. I’m posting for a friend..
This is related to above inquiry but the issue is the common law partner married someone else. Now the status is Passport request for visa stamping. Should he disclose to immigration that the relationship has ended? Will it affect his eligibility to migrate eith his don? Or Is it advisable to just state that she is not accompanying for now? Appreciate your input . Thank you. .

Absolutely, yes. It's mandatory for an applicant to keep IRCC updated on ANY changes in status.

The common law partner (CLP) was included in counting the points when they applied under CSQ. Will IRCC review the application when there’s a change ? Will the principal applicant’s eligibility be affected? Will there be another processing considering There’s a significant change? Have you encountered same situation and was successful in entering Canada? Thank you in advance for giving us enlightenment. Regards and hope to hear from you.

This isn’t optional. This person has to contact CIC and explain that she has to explain that she is no longer with her common law and that he is now married to someone else.

You posted this about your son a whole year ago. Why has he not updated his status yet? If he is found to have lied in his application there could be repercussions for years.

This is, sorry, just unintelligent. Misrepresentation can be declared way into the future even at the review of citizenship. This is a person risking deportation at any time. Why do it? Its just dumb. Declare it! If the points are not enough try again under PNP, once you've been passed you'll be passed again.

This boggles the mind. Why be intentionally dishonest?

Hi Zardoz,

Thanks for the reply. I am in a similar situation. I am the primary applicant and I received my PPR mail 20 days back. Now my wife (secondary applicant) is not ready to submit her passport for visa stamping. I have only 10 days left. If I send only my passport, will I get COPR? I am not sure as it is a joint application where both of us contribute to CRS score. How should I proceed? Kindly advise.
