Hello Folks,
Request you all to help me with my query below:
Since I got married post APR, I updated the CIC through WebForm to add my spouse to the application, but the reply I got from CIC after a week was a very generic stating my application is in Process. Also, my profile never got updated with New Tabs to upload spouse documents. Is this normal, or should I open a another WebForm?
Below was the mail from CIC :
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
We verified the information you provided and can confirm that your application is still in process.
All the required documents and information have been received by the responsible office for the moment.
While the processing times may vary with each case, we will make all the necessary efforts to finalize your application as soon as possible.
Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.
We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.
I request you all to guide whether to open a new Web form enquiry to add my spouse to application, or should i wait for my profile to be updated. Did any one of you face a similar situation.
Also, is there any specific format i need to follow in the webform or any other source to request to add Spouse to the application?
Thanks so much in advance for your replies to this post !!
Hello,
When we submit the web inquiries the people who receive our messages are not the ones proccessing our PR applications. They forward our messages to the office that is processing our files (that's why they always give us a generic response).
* if your spouse is already a permanent resident or canadian citizen it will not affect your application.
*if they are not then your case officer will request the required documents from you. They will message you through your CIC account.
They will ask for the following:
*payment receipt for your spouse (processing fee, biometric fee/ you can also pay the rprf fee together if you want)
*medical exams (spouse will also need to do that)
* a bunch of forms to be filled (they will be specified in the request letter)
*photos from your mariage/relationship
*questionaires regarding your relationship (they will be included in the request letter)
So pretty much everything they need will be outlined in the request letter. And also the speed at which they request these and update your account all depends on the people and office processing your file (some are fast and some are slow).
All the best with your application.
