I got PPR as a single applicant in Oct 2017. Dint land, got married and added spouse in July 2018. File still under processing last 5 months. They took document submission date as Aug 2017 (when i had submitted as a single) and added 6 months to it and put estimated completion date as 27 Feb 2018. They should have taken document submission date as July 20th (when submitted spouse docs) and then add 6 months and put estimated completion date as 27 Feb 2019. Yusuf was same as my case with almost same dates for his spouse too, but he got PPR for both by Dec 6th. So wanted to know why mismatch hppng in estimated completion dates. Wondering where it is stuck.
Getting married after PPR

Hello to all the senior members!!
I need some guidance in my case. I submitted my application for Express entry on 23rd aug 2018 and got my CoPR on 14th November 2018. I am now getting married before I do my landing to someone who already has submitted her PR application and has not yet received her CoPR. I cant do my landing before the wedding as its just around the corner (jan 19th). I have submitted a webform on the cic website stating my situation and have not gotten a response yet.
Can someone here guide me as to what will be our next steps?
- My wife to be had more points than I did when we applied.
- my passport validity is till may 2019, therefore if they ask for me to resubmit my passport for a revised CoPR the validity of my passport will not be more than 6 months as it was when i was first asked to submit. I am hesitant to apply for a new passport at the moment as it would require more items to update to CIC.
- I planned on landing in Feb 2019, how delayed will now my plans get?
- Is it possible for both my wife to be and I keep our seperate PRs and just declare our marriage and land together?
I would really appreciate if someone here can state step by step what I need to do from this point onwards.

Hi Yousuf, can you pls tell me is your visa expiry date 1 year from medical exam date for both of you ?
Hi,
I have the same queries as yours. How did you proceeded with all this? Thanks
Hi @canuck_in_uk
I raised a case specific enquiry informing cic of the change in my marital status and attached all relevant documents. I even sent an email to CPC Ottawa on the same.
The next day I called up cic and the agent said that it should be okay for me to fly with my existing PR visa and CoPR.
But after almost a month of raising the CSE I got an automated email from CIC today that my application has been updated. I logged in to my account and noticed that the application status has changed from Approved to We are still reviewing the application.
I'm clueless on why the application status has changed. Will it take time to have the application move to Approved considering that my spouse is already a PR holder? Will it be okay if I travel when the application is the current state since I already have my PR visa and CoPR?
Please help.
Hello,
I recently got a request from IRCC to submit the following documents to include my spouse I am abit confused with the following.
1. Updated Generic Application Form for Canada IMM 0008 for yourself and your spouse or common-law partner (CLP).
Do I have to fill two separate forms one for myself and one for my spouse? If yes, then in my spouse's form will she mention me as dependent, since I am the primary applicant. Or should she fill the form with no dependants?
2. Supplementary Information Your Travels form IMM5562 E for your spouse or common-law partner (CLP);
The form asks that the primary applicant should fill it, there is a field on top mentioning to put the principal applicant name in it. So do i have to fill this form again with all my travel details and the put my spouse travel details in section b ?
Please help regarding this.

1. No, you fill out one form with you as the PA and your spouse as a dependent.
2. Yes.
I am in similar situation. My husband is a Canadian PR holder. I got my CoPR before getting married. Post the wedding I informed cic through web form. Since I didn't hear back from CIC, I booked my tickets and am supposed to do my landing in 10 days. However after a month of informing them, CIC updated my application and it got removed from Approved status, although the actual updates are yet to be reflected. I am unsure now if I can do the landing with my existing PR visa and CoPR. Experts @scylla @legalfalcon @zardoz please help
How many days do you have to submit your documents? How many placeholders are opened in your online account?
Hi @canuck_in_uk
I called up CIC to check the updates done to my application and the agent informed me that my CoPR and PR Visa have been cancelled at CIC's end. She said that CoPR and PR visa are invalid and can't be used to land in Canada. She asked me to wait for further instructions from VO.

If your family composition changes, and you inform IRCC, which you should, your Visa and COPR if issued is cancelled. IRCC will ask for the documents to add your spouse to your application, and issue you new documents.
In such circumstances, you cannot travel with the Visa issued on your passport as it is no longer valid.
Changes to family composition
All family members must be examined as part of the e-APR, whether they are accompanying the principal applicant or not. Family members can be added to the application at any time during the process, including after the visa is issued, but prior to obtaining permanent resident status. Applicants are instructed to inform IRCC immediately if their family composition has changed (e.g., birth of a child, marriage, divorce).
Pursuant to subsection R4(1), the principal applicant may not include a spouse or common-law partner in their application if their relationship was entered into primarily to acquire any status or privilege under the Act or is not genuine. Similarly, in accordance with subsection R4(2), the principal applicant may not include an adopted child in their application if the adoption was entered into primarily to obtain any status or privilege under the Act or if it did not create a genuine parent–child relationship.
Section A11.2 does not apply when an applicant adds a family member to their application after the e-APR; however, the family member will have to be assessed, and the principal applicant must provide IRCC with the Additional Family Information form [IMM 5406 (PDF, 570KB)] and pay the applicable fees online.
