adding spouse after COPR

[freewillythethird]

Hello mate, congrats on your PPR
How many days did IRCC give you to submit spouse documents?

The letter said 30 days. But online in the application window it gave us 60 days.

Hello. It seems you are getting married before landing, so I suggest you let IRCC know after your marriage on Jan. 2024 and before you use the COPR. IRCC will need to update your COPR, evaluate your spouse and issue your spouse a COPR if she is accompanying. If you leave with COPR stating that you are single, it will be a problem for you and your spouse. Need to have correct COPR details when entering Canada and all of your dependents, including spouse, should have been declared.

Note that if you get married after landing with a COPR stating you are single, you will have a different (possible longer/more complicated) process sponsoring your spouse's PR afterwards.

Inform IRCC after your marriage. There are a lots of threads here on How to include spouse post marriage to a PR application including post COPR.

Hi! i don't know if anyone is active in this thread or not. But can anyone tell me which web form is the correct one. How to find out your Visa office? I am from India and i need to contact IRCC about my spouse addition to my file.

Hi
My situation is a bit dicey. My COPR is expiring ending of next month and ircc has not gotten back to me since I notified them about my change in marital status(2 weeks ago).

I can’t land with the old COPR as it carries “single”.
Will I have to start over If my COPR expires?
Any info will be appreciated .
Thank you .

Mine was very similar case.My marriage was on feb 23rd and ppr expiry was march 31st .
as long as you inform them you are on safe side i think.

*Query: Adding spouse ti application after COPR has been received before landing.*

Please guys, is there anyone with London as their CPC visa office added their spouse after they’ve received COPR and their eligibility review completed?

I got my COPR 13th Feb, set to expire 27th December.

I got married May 18th and updated IRCC via webform May 27th.

Till date, I’ve made several calls, sent 3 emails, raised about 4 more webforms and sent a physical letter and I’m yet to get a response.

There’s been acknowledgment to my webforms via email and even my IRCc tracker on May 29th has a log of “we’ve received your enquiry” but my application remains closed and so I am just playing the waiting game.

Please, if anyone (especially with London as your visa office) have similar experience and became successful, please help me!
