Hi everyone, please can you help me with my doubts:
I have applied for PR and it is in post AOR stage. It is an FSW-O application.
I got married on 22nd April 2021. After we got married, I informed IRCC via web form to add my wife to my application.
AOR - 17th April 2020.
1. In the add on request, they have mentioned the following - "a copy of the birth certificate, marriage certificate or proof of common-law relationship"
Do I need to submit my wife's birth certificate? It is not in English and it is difficult to get it translated to English during lockdown. Official IRCC site says it is needed only for children. I am quite worried about this.
Here is where I read it:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/express-entry/applications-received-on-after-january-1-2016-completeness-check.html
2. Which forms do we need to fill? We got these forms in the mail:
A new Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008),
(If applicable) A new Schedule A - Background/Declaration Form (IMM 5669),
(If applicable) A new Additional Dependants/Declaration Form (IMM 0008DEP)
IMM 0008 should ONLY be filled by the primary applicant i.e. only I have to fill it - is this correct?
IMM 5669 needs to be filled by BOTH of us SEPARATELY - is this also correct?
IMM 0008 DEP needs to be filled if there are more than 5 dependents - this form is NOT to be filled by us - is this also correct?
3. They have NOT asked for my wife's police clearance certificates in this mail. We will anyhow submit it with the marriage certificate and LOE, is that fine?
4. Do we have to make the payment now to add my wife in my application? Or is it later?
5. They have mentioned the following in the mail - "To add a person to your application, we invite you to complete the following forms and mail them to the Case Processing Centre in Edmonton, Alberta" - do we really need to physically fill the forms and mail the forms by post to CPC Edmonton or will submissions thru web form be okay? My application is entirely online.
6. Will they create placeholders in my IRCC account to submit the marriage certificate and LOE or do we have to submit it via webform only?
Please will you all be so kind as to help me with all these doubts. I have already searched the group for these answers but I am still confused.
Thank you all for your time and be safe.
