I sponsored my spouse and we have no children. So the situation is similar to yours.

1. In normal case, it should be 'Married - Physically present. '
Tweet by IRCC - "Married-physically present" and "Married-not physically present" refers to whether the person was physically present at their marriage ceremony, or if it was a proxy, telephone, fax, internet or similar marriage where one or both parties weren't physically present."

2. As per the check list - "if you (the principal applicant) have more than 5 dependants to declar, please use the following form to continue your declaration: additional dependents/Declaration (IMM 008DEP). if thoes not apply to you, you do not need to complete this form."


Thank you for explaining in such detail with the reference, now it clears the scenario for me
 
Hi, we just got DM on PA and "background check started on our application". No Pre-Arrival message yet.

Will we get a Pre-Arrival message today or tomo, followed by PPR in the next few weeks or a month? How did it work for other people?

yes here we are the chosen unlucky ones.
 
What are your timelines?
June 8
interview March 14. No updates after that. Now new line is added that review of background check has not started yet. I gave up honestly for this month. If nothing comes by end of this month then i will initiate enquiries for status update.

Ajay I feel that you should send a web form to IRCC because people whose DM happened after you got the PPR and yours is still pending. Ideally DM means everything and all steps are completed
