Adding spouse to existing PNP PR Application

[arj1partha]

Hi All,
Added spouse in Jan 2019 to my existing Ontario PNP PR application. Sent all the necessary docs and did my medicals again.
we got the information letter on Aug 15th asking for our whereabouts and we responded on the same day.
On Sep 3rd I received an interview appointment letter for Sep 9th at Etobicoke. I received my COPR on the same day.
My spouse lives in India and yet to receive PPR.
Any idea how long would it take for them to ask for Passport after sending the information letter? Its been more than 5 weeks now.
My file is in Ottawa.
Is this a normal delay? I tried reaching out CIC but response was very general and wasn't helpful. I also requested for GCMS notes more than 40 days ago but haven't received yet.

Thanks

I think when you order GCMC notes. they will stop processing your application to provide you with the most accurate info on file. and the process will get resumed after they process the notes. that might be whats causing the delay in your application. again i am not 100 % sure. hope this helps.

May be. I'm not sure either. But My wife got her PPR today. So not worried about GCMS notes anymore.
Thanks for the reply.

Man, thats give me a goosebump. it takes so long to add a spouse. It took you 2.5 months just to appear your spouse in your application and altogether 5 months and no medical request! that's insane.

my timeline is following!

Today oct 16th got BIL request for spouse.

I was under impression that they would request spouse MR first. In an ADR lettering sep 19, where they listed all the docs needed for spouse add-on. It said -medical as well. But no additional or separate medical request was sent for my spouse so she could not get her medical done.

That's how it was listed :
Passport, if accompanying
- Fees, if accompanying
- Medical
- Any applicable Police certificates

I got an email request I pay biometrics fee for spouse. Although I already did previously. Sent the an email explaining I already did included the receipt I got via web form. I hope the attend to it quick and send the biometrics requests form. I will be asking my spouse to do upfront medical since I already did mine. And start the waiting game till decision is made.
