Thanks for your quick reply , AEE11 .

So you are saying all forms ( IMM008, IMM5406- Family Info, IMM 5669 Back Ground Dec) need to refilled by me with updated information (about spouse)? I do not need any forms filled and signed by my spouse?

And while updating IMM008, there ques no 3 about - How many members including you, in your application?
So I should say 2

And also pay both fees for my spouse upfront?

Hey hammer, did gt your pr?? After addinf your wife to pr file?

Hi Guys,

I would like to add my wife to my PR application. I submitted my application in August 2014.

I called CIC recently and told them that I got married and asked what documents do I need to submit to CIC for my wife they sent me email to submit below documents:

•A new Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008) with supporting documents,

For this document I see that first data is about principal applicant and in dependant section I have to enter spouse details. What are the supporting documents for IMM 0008? I don't see anything in Guide for this application


•(If applicable) A Schedule A - Background/Declaration (IMM 5669) form,

I already submitted IMM 5669 for me (primary applicant) when I sent the application, now should I need to just submit one for my spouse?


•(If applicable) An Additional Dependants/Declaration (IMM 0008DEP) form,

Should I fill this form with my spouse details because in the guide to fill this application form it says that on behalf of each of your dependants not included in the Generic Application Form for Canada(IMM 0008), I'm little confused when it said Not Included in IMM 0008.

in the Guide to fill this application form it says:

This form must be completed by:
•You, the principal applicant, on behalf of each of your dependants not included in the Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008).

•(If applicable) A signed Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) form,

Should I complete this form one for me and one for my spouse? If I need to complete one for my spouse, do I need to enter my name in the Applicant field in her form?

I understood both the below ones

•A copy of the family member’s valid passport,
•Police certificates for all countries where the family member over the age of 18 has lived for more than 6 months since turning 18,

I think I have to send marriage photos, regular PR photos, birth certificate, and marriage certificate. DO I NEED TO SEND ANY MORE DOCUMENTS?

DO I NEED TO INFORM CIC RIGHT AWAY THAT MY MARITAL STATUS IS CHANGED TO MARRIED. AS THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AUGUST APPLICATIONS. I DON'T HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTS IN HAND, IT MIGHT TAKE SOMETIME FOR POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE. WHAT DO YOU GUYS SUGGEST?

Please help me in completing this application forms,,, please

hello, I hope you got the pr long back need small help right now I am in your situation.


I already submitted IMM 5669 for me (primary applicant) when I sent the application, now should I need to just submit one for my spouse?

What you did for this. kindly please let me know. thanks

Dear All,

I have been following up this forum closely and appreciate your discussion very much as it gives alot of clarity for many candidates.

I would like to seek your thoughts on my following scenario.

Points - 453

27/03/2018 - Received ITA
25/04/2018 - Made Payment and Submitted all documents when I was Single
17/06/2018 - Got Married and got the marriage certificate
18/06/2018 - Raised a case specific request using the IRCC webform to intimate CIC that I have got married with my marriage certificate attachment and would like to include my spouse in my application
20/06/2018 - Got a request from CIC (in message) to provide IMM5475 form
25/06/2018 - Submitted the IMM5475 form
01/07/2018 - My Status changed - Medical Examination - Passed, Required Documents - Not Applicable.
07/07/2018 - Got a email response to the Case Specific Request from CIC indicating that my marriage certificate has been passed to the case officer

I havent received any other information from CIC yet. My Medical test will expire on 18/01/2019.

My questions are:
1. Do I need to followup with CIC on anyother means ? via phone/Email?. If so, kindly provide me to reach CIC.
2. What will the general processing time from this point onwards tp include my spouse for me to get the PR?
3. Can I start preparing the document checklist for my spouse to shorten the turn around time once I got the request for additional documents for my spouse ?.

Looking forward for your feedback on my case.

Regards,
Padhu

My questions are:
1. Do I need to followup with CIC on anyother means ? via phone/Email?. If so, kindly provide me to reach CIC.

IRCC should contact you to request forms/information for your spouse's application.

2. What will the general processing time from this point onwards tp include my spouse for me to get the PR?

generally you can count on it to add a couple of months to your processing time.

3. Can I start preparing the document checklist for my spouse to shorten the turn around time once I got the request for additional documents for my spouse ?.

Of course! If you haven't done so already, you can get the medical exam and PCCs ready...

 

[padhu.krish]

Thanks alot Jes. Highly appreciate it.

One other question, Since my medical expires in Jan'19, do you think that both myself and my Spouse's PR will be processed before that ?

-Padhu

Hi AEE11,
I had recently got married and intimated CIC about this and they've sent me the various forms. Could you please help me in filling these forms because I'm confused as to who fills what. The form IMM0008 should be filled with my details (the principal applicant) or my spouses' who I am trying to add? IMM5669e mentions to tick a box as to who is filling the document (whether the prncipal applicant or the spouse of the principal applicant), should we fill for both of us? IMM0008 DEP is same as IMM0008. Therefore what needs to go in there? Should IMM5406 be filled in by both me and my spouse?

I will really appreciate it if you can take some time out. Thank you very much in advance

Thank you so much for the response. Also, where am i supposed to upload these forms? In a web form or is there any option to upload somewhere in my profile.

Also, for my spouse I've got PCC. Can i get medicals for her or should i wait for cic to request for it? Will she get a new IME number or can i process it with mine?

Initially i just applied with sufficient funds for myself as POF but now, CIC hasn't requested for proof for both of us. Can i upload her account statement for updated POF for both of us?

You're response will be really helpful.

Thank you so much
