Thanks for the prompt response. Am I to send all the listed documents with my request to add my spouse or IRCC requests for these things themselves? For example, I do not have an IMM8 Application form. Also, Is there a platform to make payment to add my spouse as highlighted in your feedback?

Usually when you inform IRCC, they will send your a response asking for the above listed documents.

You can pay the fee at https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp

You will get a receipt, send the receipt as a proof of payment. The receipt number will be used to mark the fee as paid after verifying it.

I might have to move and hence submit a new address to IRCC. How early should I do it? If anyone else has done this.. what's the response time like of an acknowledgement of this change?

Submit webform. Now a days webform response is taking 3 to 4 weeks

I submitted a change of address on December 11th and I still did not hear back from the webform. I called up IRCC this week and updated it by phone to speed the process after waiting over a month.

Thanks! Btw how do you all contact IRCC? I've never been able to catch them on the phone! Am I missing a trick or something?

The BGC refers to criminality and security. This is why the BGC status changes twice during the processing of the application. Since your AoR is Sept, it may be very likely that criminality, info sharing is done and eligibility is in progress. Once Eligibility is passed, the BGC will be in progress again.

To read on security and BGC see https://bit.ly/2JPCk2g

@legalfalcon Thanks for quick response. So it means security is not initiated yet? Any approximate time how long it takes from here to COPR

PR application status is still being the same (Eligibility has not been started yet). Progress bar appeared again and shows 66%.
Fortunately, work permit was approved. Please advise me if the WP (phisical letter) will be automatically mailed to me or I have to inquer it via web form?
