Recently got married and want to add my wife in my current PR application

[legalfalcon]

Hi @legalfalcon,

Please I have a question with regards to how to send the required IMM forms/supporting docs to IRCC for including a spouse to my PR application. Currently, IRCC has not sent an email to request for any IMM forms/supporting docs for my spouse although I’ve gotten some of them ready (based on what I’ve seen them ask other people who intend to add their spouses after AOR). I intend to submit these forms and documents via their webform but the challenge I’m currently faced with is how to do this. The webform only accepts a maximum of 3.5 MB for multiple files and all of the IMM forms and supporting docs are more than 2MB each (I have 5 IMM forms and about 6 other supporting documents) . If I’m to submit them via webform, does this mean I’ll have to send multiple webforms until I’m able to send all the files? Or is there a more efficient means of doing this? I’ve thought of compressing the files but I’m afraid it’ll adversely affect the file quality significantly such that the file contents become unreadable.

Please let me know.

Thank you. @legalfalcon

The only way to send documents to IRCC is you do not have an upload window in your account is via web form and you will have to send multiple webforms if you have multiple documents exceeding the permitted file size.

@EstherNnnanna Cheers, I am on the same boat. Let me give some updates about my case, maybe it could help. I notified through IRCC about webform that my marital status changed and got a response to upload my documents for my query. However, after a month I got a request letter through and status changed to action required to upload all documents for my spouse. I am facing the same challenge like you, file size is large and not able to upload both in IRCC portal(4MB just 1 file option) as well as webform(multiple files total of 3.5MB). I managed to compress it to a decent size and uploaded it for transmission now since I got no other choice.

@deepakanbu thanks for your response. In my case, IRCC hasn’t requested me to upload any of my spouses documents. The only thing they requested for after I informed them about my marriage was the wedding certificate. It’s really strange to me because it’s been several months now and so I have decided to send them some of the documents I think they’ll require.
