Hello friends,
My EE score is 451. I got the ITA when the cutoff was 450 and got AOR on 15th Nov 2015. Now if i get married before i get my PR and include my wife's application along with mine, my points would reduce and will go below the lowest EE cutoff of 450. How will my marriage affect my ongoing PR processing ?? i am on a workpermit which expires in Aug 2016.
Extract from CIC website :http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/refuse.asp
Change in circumstance declared after an e-APR has been submitted
To assess an application under section A11.2, a processing office must consider the information in an applicant’s profile at the time of the round of invitations and the information provided when the applicant submits their e-APR. After an e-APR is submitted, an application cannot be refused due to a change in circumstance unless
the officer determines that the change occurred before the applicant submitted their e-APR and that the change would have caused the applicant to be refused under section A11.2: therefore, the application should be refused under section A11.2; or
the change in circumstance means the applicant no longer meets the minimum requirements of the program to which they are applying; therefore, the application may still meet the requirements of section A11.2 but can be refused for failing to meet program requirements.
For example, if an applicant marries before they submit their e-APR but informs CIC of the marriage only after they submit their e-APR, the marriage can be taken into account as part of the section A11.2 assessment.
If, however, an applicant marries after they submit their e-APR, then informs CIC of the marriage, the marriage cannot be taken into account as part of the section A11.2 assessment. However, the change in circumstance may affect whether the applicant still meets the program requirements. See below for details.
