Hi @DelPiero07 , What if I have shown funds equivalent to one person and now want to add spouse in application (if get married after AOR)? Can I show additional funds while submitting other docs of spouse?
What is the better option
1. to get married before CoPR, or
2. Get PR and then sponsor spouse.

Also, is there any spouse visa option if I choose Option No 2 or she has to apply through Express Entry again with my sponsorship?

Please advise. Thanks.
Getting married before doing the landing procedure is the better option, you can show funds for 2 people when submitting her documents.

If you choose the sponsorship route it is not done through Express Entry, it is a different type of application.

Hi All,

A bit of a predicament here. I received my ITA a couple of days ago.

Will be going to get married in India on the 25th of March. My to be spouse has not started a single step of the document collection. She may be able to do everything (apart from the IELTS) in time, but that would keep our score below the ITA draw.

If she waits and registers for the IELTS, we would not make it in this pool. If I calculate my score based on:
1 - are you married: yes
2 - is your spouse coming to canada with you: No

then my points do not seem to be affected. Is that correct?

Any other suggestsion?
What's your status now?

No. It means you will add her AFTER submitting your application so there's no recalculation to your score. You will both get PR assuming your application gets approved.

As already stated the above will only apply if you get married after submitting your e-APR.
Do you know what will be timeline for getting PPR if we add spouse after submitting e-APR?

Hi All,
I have a query. What will happen if I marry someone who has also applied for PR through the express entry program and has received an ITA.
Both of us applied individually and received ITA. If we marry now, will there be a problem?
