I received the COPR as a single applicant on 2020/10/29 and I married on 2020/12/20. Then I raised a webform to inform my marriage. After a month I received a generic reply;
"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 dependent 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."
Send the documents and payment info to your local visa office through web form and send email to your local vo.
Thanks for your response. I want to clarify one more thing. I applied the PR through the express entry with Ontario PNP.
While filling IMM 0008 application, which category (category under which you are applying) should I select? (Provincial nominee or skilled worker?)
Today I ran into something a little different. I am currently in Canada on my work permit. PR processing under the CEC category. I got a confirmation PR email which says I am now a permanent resident already and just need to take a printout of the confirmation PR and a picture of mine and post it to the etobicoke-landing email address and they will be posting me the PR card. It doesn't have any mention of the Passport as well. Also, I have submitted a web form with documents and fee receipt to add my wife to the application and got an acknowledgement for the web form as well. IRCC site is not reflecting any of this data nor the COPR as well. I'm super confused about how to proceed now. Please help me.

Raise a webform and confirm with IRCC about the addition of your spouse to the application. It would be incorrect to proceed with the PR process since your family composition has changed.
Thanks will do that. Do I need to inform them about the CoPR and request it be canceled and give together.
