Hi there, I hope it's not too late to respond!
For IMM 0008, I just filled in ONE form, I started with my own info as the principal applicant, then I added my spouse as a subsection as dependent, and entered all the info that was requested for spouse. So to clarify, I DID NOT fill in two separate forms for myself and spouse, I just had one, containing both our info.
Hi Thaanks for this info as I've been confused with the IMM 0008. Just one question though, As I am filling it as a PA ( Express Entry - FSW-O) , how do I fill the dependent type for my spouse - Type A, B & C ( I thought this should be kept blank as my spouse is not a child) but then when I try to validate the form, it prompts me to fill the dependent field. Has anyone had the same issue ?

I think when you select in the Column 'Relationship to principal applicant' as - Spouse, the form automatically greys out the dependant Type column. if you select any other option beside this, then it prompts to enter the dependant type.

HI Experts,

I am in the stage of submitting my documents and webforms for adding my Spouse post AOR and have few quick queries -

1. Given the large set of documents, its intended to share them with IRCC by attaching them with multiple webforms, so do I enter my own details in those webforms ? What to mention in the enquiry information box for each of the webforms I submit ?

2. How many webforms can I submit to share my all documents ?

3. Is there anything specific to be written in LOE ?

Prompt response on this will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Joe

Yes, you enter your own details in the webforms since you're the PA. you can submit multiple webforms, I did two. They acknowledged the receipt of both. I didn't write more than a few sentences in my LOE, something simple that hereby I'm submitting the requested documents for my spouse.

Thanks @maghool71 - this really helps.

So, another question around this - did you add your spouse's education, employment proofs and bank POF with the final list of documents?

I didn't submit anything for my spouse, it's not required. They didn't ask for proof because it's not gonna have any impact on your CRS, so why bother and confuse them with so many unnecessary files. Only bank POF of MYSELF as the PA, not my spouse.

Hey Thanks for the prompt response, I thought that would be the case but idk why it doesn't black out. Will try to see if this is a macOS issue

Okay so I had downloaded the form first from the PDF letter that I received in my CIC account. Somehow the field wasn't going grey when entered the relationship as a spouse , so downloaded a fresh form from the CIC Website itself and the field does get grey now. Idk what it is but thanks for the help, All.

Well if you do not have the recent Adobe application downloaded it may not let the forms function properly

Would like to know this too! Or was it shown through gcms notes
When did they reply to you about your spise being added (that is how long was their response from the time of submission of you spouse's application)?

Hey guys, I had an update today that my medicals are passed. Still no reflection of my spouse on my portal.
According to the notes I received last week I'm still single LOL.
There was only one sentence mentioning that 'the applicant appears to be married according to their email; add-on application kit sent' or something like this.
The weird thing is that the date on my GCMS notes is exactly the date that they requested ADR for my spouse. And there were a bunch of other updates on my application on the exact same date. Could this be a coincidence?

I already did that step before but it didn't work.
Ou must download the said Adobe updated version because the pdf is special... You can't even transfer by email to another person it won't load... Do once you've downloaded the appropriate app you are good to gooo.... This had happened to me also.
