We have just got BIL for my common-law partner. This is the timeline of the spouse adding:
-23rd Dec 2021: notified IRCC about my common-law status.
-11th Jan 2022: received a list of documents from IRCC and I submitted them via webforms one day later.
-2nd Feb 2022: my re-medical exam was passed
-3rd Feb 2022: they acknowledged the receipt of submitted documents.
My criminality check expired and was followed by a long silent wait.
-6th July 2022: common-law partner added to my portal profile and BIL for my dear.
Such a tedious process. "Express Entry" my
@$$!!
PS: I have double-checked and see that my partner's upfront medical exam also has been passed today! HOORAY!
