Hello all,

My situation is that i have an express entry (PR) application in the final stage (waiting review from immigration officer) outland.

I am going to add my new spouse to my application. My concern is that she was previously undocumented in our current country of residence for a number of years.
She is now legally here.

Has anybody added their spouse to their application with a similar past? As far as i can understand it does not matter as she is now legal and we are applying for PR. Also important is that there was no crime conviction or deportation order for her.

Anyway if you have been in a similar situation please let me know.

Thanks

You need to post your question in the Express Entry section of the forum.

No one in this section of the forum will have added a spouse to their application. This section of the forum focuses on Canadians who are sponsoring their partners for PR.

Generally, as long as you are honest about all of the details, there shouldn't be a problem. But again, you should post in the EE section rather than here.
