Adding spouse after AOR
- Thread starter Samurai89
- Start date
Hmmm... So it is scary to assume now that after douse appears in profile it takes IRCC 6months to grant BIL? This scares me.... And they are resuming all express entry programmes again today(6th July)...
She may want to send a webform to correct status... But I believe in the application for ITA there's a provision for stating whether you are married or not. For me when I entered the pool, my Nigerian passport hadn't expired but when I got my ITA, I put the new passport number in my application and that automatically updated. Also when she's forwarding your documents after ITA I think the marriage certificates will be looked at.
As an aside, since marriage happened within ITA, you should note that your addition to her profile will see you also having her score recalculated. So it would be good to invest in having your WES evaluation of your educational credentials and having ielts done.
Wish you both a successful journey.
My timeline so far!

My Spouse is outside of Canada and I have replied the same to IRCC, how will my Spouse get an update now and how long does it take? Can I travel outside of Canada without PR Card and can come back to Canada as I have a valid TRV?

Congrats on your journey!
Spouse Added: January 11, 2022 => is this when you informed IRCC to add spouse? did you send all document upfront?
My AOR Nov 17, 2020. 1 year before you and still waiting, IRCC is the biggest joke ever!
Thank you, I informed them in November and was asked to send documents in December and they added my spouse in January.
Mine was passed on 2nd February 2022. Last night when I checked, it said medical exam was passed on 5th July 2022, at the same time with the addition of my spouse to my portal profile.
IRCC actually started processing backlog applications post Feb 2022. If you see the trend, most PPR for outland applications came after Feb of 2022 when IRCC announced series of updates including today's draws. So don't get scared. 6 months may not apply now unless the application is very complex. I know few who got their BIL within 2 to 3 months and then PPR within 1 month after getting their Biometrics.
Nope, they sent a request and I booked the appointment next day and it was completed.
Received ecopr today but no information about the spouse, it only states spouse name and accompanying, Any inland applicant has been through this process?
I'd like to see a response to this
