Did you send a case specific enquiry to add your wife to the file?
If yes, what documents did the VO require to send?
Thanks,

Please see the mail I received from Buffalo.
If Wayne thinks that it can be added to his blog, it is most welcome (provided your blog does not become another website with loaded information)
We acknowledge receipt of your correspondence informing us of a change in your family composition due to marriage. Please review the following two options:
1) If your spouse is NOT a citizen or permanent resident of Canada, he or she must be examined in the context of your application, whether or not he or she will accompany you to Canada. He or she will have to undergo a medical examination. We will send you the appropriate form upon reception of the documents listed below.
In order to add your spouse to your application, we require the following documents:
· processing fee for your spouse (if accompanying you to Canada)
· notarized birth certificate of your spouse
· copy of your spouse’s valid passport
· 3 recent photographs of your spouse according to the specifications
· a notarized “no” criminal activity certificate for your spouse
· a completed application kit with all the requirements
· updated IMM0008 Generic and updated IMM5406 “Additional Family Information” form for yourself.
· a “Certificat de Sélection du Québec” for your spouse ( in his or her name), if you wish to immigrate to the province of Québec (http://www.micc.gouv.qc.ca/fr/index.asp).
Copies of the original documents with original certified translations into English or French are required. All documents must be sent by mail or fax (see fax number and address below.
2) If your spouse is a Canadian citizen or a Permanent Resident in Canada, they may choose to sponsor you in the Family Class Category if he / she is a permanent resident and residing in Canada OR a Canadian Citizen.
Information which will assist you in making this decision is available at:
- Processing times for immigration applications in all categories: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/index.asp
- Information on Family Class immigration: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/index.asp
If you decide to submit a Family Class application, your Skilled Worker application (or in any other category) will not be affected. Once a positive decision is made on either application the other application will be closed.
Application forms, fees schedule, payment methods and photo specifications are available on our Web site: www.buffalo.gc.ca.
We will contact you if there is any further information we require.
For future reference, in all correspondence to our office, please refer to the applicant's full name, date of birth and file number.
