Add Spouse To PR Application which is currently in Processing

Could you please help me with this...cec2014kum said:
Yes I saw that, I'm kind of scared that paying fees by form IMM 5620 is wrong, as it says that "The payment of these fees must be made online:" Could you please suggest..
Also is it better to pay both RPRF and Applicant fee now both at the same time or pay RPRF later? as it says that both must be paid as below
"spouse or CLP intends to accompany you to Canada at this time, a processing fee of $550 and a RPRF of $490 must be paid for their application"
yes is better to pay online, in my opinionAEE11 said:
You're saving time.
Just be sure you're doing the right payment concepts and amounts
I'm not too sure but I red somewhere about online payment will be the only one accepted sometime
About pay RPRF when applying, if you have the money, can reduce a bit processing time but you are losing a opportunity to know CIC IS working on your application when them request RPRF.
Anyways isn't a big deal to pay RPRF upfront or when requiring, it's up to you
Seniors...
I did upfront medicals and my wife haven't done medicals yet. I'm the principal applicant. Is it mandatory that my spouse has to submit her medicals when I add her to the application or does CIC sends medical request to her later?
Also could someone explain how the PR application will be processed once you add spouse to your application as both are in different countries?

I received an email reply today to pay processing and RPRF fee. Which fees should I pay online? I know I need to pay RPRF (490$) but do I also pay sponsorship application and principal applicant fee of (75$+475$=525$? Or I just pay sponsorship application fee of $75?
Please help.

Do you mind posting the email here without personal info... processing fee for spouse will be $550 and RPRF will be $490, you should not pay sponsership application fee. Sponsership application fee has to be paid when you already have PR and want to sponser your spouse after.TorontoMo said:

Guys below was the email I got when I called the call center and told that my marital status is changed and would like to add spouse to my application. in this email they said to write Add-on the application what does it mean? Is it something different?
Also in the forms below they haven't said to submit Form IMM 5562 Supplementary Information Your Travels, as it was not listed I didn't submit that form. Is it better to submit this form?
