Hello everyone,
I’m looking for some guidance on my situation, and I’d appreciate any insights or advice from those who’ve been through something similar.
Background:
I plan to notify IRCC on November 22 (the official date of our common-law status) that I want to add my partner to my PR application. I’m trying to understand the best way to approach this to ensure everything goes smoothly and to avoid delays.

I’m looking for some guidance on my situation, and I’d appreciate any insights or advice from those who’ve been through something similar.
Background:
- I’m currently the principal applicant in the Express Entry - Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) stream.
- I submitted my PR application as single and received my Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) last October 11, 2024.
- I’ve been living in Canada with my common-law partner for over a year now, and we’ll officially be considered common-law as of November 22, 2024.
I plan to notify IRCC on November 22 (the official date of our common-law status) that I want to add my partner to my PR application. I’m trying to understand the best way to approach this to ensure everything goes smoothly and to avoid delays.
My Questions:
- Document Submission: Should I submit all the necessary documents (IMM 0008, IMM 5409, IMM 5669, proof of relationship, etc.) at the same time as notifying IRCC? Or is it better to inform them first and wait for their response before submitting anything?
