Adding spouse after AOR
- Thread starter Samurai89
- Start date
My wife applied for a change of last name from father to husband, this will technically give her new passport which wont have any stamps or visas listed. Do I need to include the previous one or the new one will suffice?
I have recently informed IRCC about my marriage through web forms. It's been a week, i haven't heard back yet. My PR is under process with medical passed and biometric request.
How long does it take for IRCC to submit the documents for my wife ?
Is there any other way I can contact apart from web form ?

They usually take 3 weeks to reply. I raised the form on 30th nov and got a response by 18 dec. So I would suggest you wait.
You just need to wait. Your application is in the very early stages so be patient.
Hi Sir,
I am in the same dilemma. I will submit my documents this month, and will get married in March / April.
Can you please advise if your score got recalculated once you added spouse after AOR.
Really Thanks.
If you read over this thread, you will find the answer.
NO, score is NOT recalculated.

Hey,
Have you received any update on your application after adding your spouse?
It’s been one month since I submitted the docs, only received an email that they received the document kit but nothing after that.
You shouldn't be expecting more than that. Your spouse will eventually be added to your application and you will be able to him/her as a dependent when you check your application online.

Hi Wolf,
I am already married and mentioned my wife as non-accompanying in my FSW profile because she is currently studying and cannot come with me. Besides, as her studies are not finished yet, we cant use her degree score and our CRS will fall.
Do you think if I submit my profile now without her and add her later on when her study is finalized (After AOR but before PPR) we have a chance?
I am not sure, I have experience when you married after AOR but I am not sure to be honest if this changes if you were married beforehand.
However, based on the correspondence I received from IRCC a while ago this might be possible:
"Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
If you are the principal applicant of a permanent residence application already in process, you could add your spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and their dependent children to your application, even if they were listed as a non-accompanying dependant in the initial application.
To do so, we invite you to send your add-on request through the IRCC webform available on our website. You can attach the following forms and documents in the field reserved to that effect:
- A new Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008) with supporting documents,
- (If applicable) A Schedule A - Background/Declaration (IMM 5669) form,
- (If applicable) An Additional Dependants/Declaration (IMM 0008DEP) form,
- (If applicable) A signed Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) form,
- A copy of the birth certificate, marriage certificate or proof of common-law relationship,
- 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,
- A letter of explanation, and
- If applicable, the proof of payment."
I filled web form a week ago but did not receive any answer. So today I called ircc and agent told me that officer didn’t opened my web form and they are still working on December web forms.
However, agent sent me same list of documents mentioned above. He also told me to send everything using web form when I collect all the documents.
(1) My question Is that is it full proof that they will check my all web form becuase I know I have to submit multiple web form to submit everything.
I also seen that some time they open separate space spouse documents on portal.
(2) should I wait for web form reply OR follow the agent instructions?
(3) can anyone comfirm which form should I fill and which form my spouse should fill?
(4) also they didnot ask for marriage photographs or any relation assessment form. So should I attach some marriage picture in LOE?
(5) when will my spouse receive Biometric letter after submitting all the documents?
thank you
