Got a letter today saying my application maybe refused because they say I didn't provide enough evidence of my marriage. The letter also said interview may be required. I don't want to go back to my country for interview. Now I regret adding on my wife after I already got passport request. I am so stressed!!!! OMG!!! Maybe I should have waited until I get my PR first. SIGH!!!

Yes I am a pnp applicant. From India. Emailed change of marital status after I got married in my country. They send me all these questionnaires and asked for proof of my marriage. I sent them everything!!! Photos, chat history, phone bills, etc...
Meds are done, everything was completed and on the request for passport letter, it asked if I changed my marital status. I should have waited!! I was too anxious to add her!!! Now my whole application could be cancelled!

I have few questions for you!!

I too added my wife and submitted all the required docs and photos, marriage ceritificate, phone bills, skype calls etc. But my wife is already in canada with me.

Where is your wife now?
When did you inform CIC that you got married? ( because it is the rule that you should inform CIC immediately once your marital status has been changed)
If you inform right after your marriage then why did they sent you the PPR without adding your wife?

My wife is in India.
I informed CIC right after I got married in my country. When I got back to Canada I got the passport request so I emailed CIC to add my wife. Maybe I should just add my wife as a non accompanying and then just sponsor her later. Now i think it's too late to change I guess.

trus me there is nothing wrong if you add your wife

if you follow CIC guideline how to add wife then you must be fine

If you get married during your PR processing, you must add your wife to your application.

In order to add her, you should start looking at the forms now. There are various forms she has to fill out regarding her background history and family info and you should also go through all of your forms and re-do the forms that have changed because you are married. You can apply before she has her new passport because you will not be sending the passport in until they ask for it. If she has already applied to change her name, you can apply for her under her married name but there is a space to write former names so she can write her maiden name there. You can include a note stating that she has changed her name so recently that her ID is still under her maiden name but you are working on changing that and will send them a copy when you can.

In order to bring her with you before getting PR, if you have been nominated under PNP, I believe that regardless of your job being skilled or not or regardless of risk of overstay, your wife could get a work permit. Contact your PNP and ask about this.

Regardless of having been nominated or not, your wife would qualify for an open work permit if you are working in a skilled position but in that case, risk of overstay can be taken into account and she could be refused.

I have heard that after a PNP nomination, risk of overstay does not apply anymore.

After getting married while you are still in your home country the first thing you should do is to Add your wife to your PNP file by simply downloading the PNP add/Remove family form, just filled it up mention your PNP file number, your spouse name, reason Example Marriage, your CIC file number and attach a copy of your marriage certificate. etc then FAX. or Mail that form to PNP office with a copy of your marriage certificate. I would suggest FAX. because it will faster they will respond to you within 2 weeks and once you come back to Canada you would not have to wait for that.
Meanwhile you should urgently get your wife new NIC under your name, as soon as you get that apply for her new passport under your name get that done on urgent option I'm sure it is possible, the next thing should be ready after her new passport under your name is her police clearance certificate and you also need her 6 PR specific photographs, on the backside of 5 photograph write her name and DOB and leave 6th one unwritten.
Once you come back to Canada prepare a File which includes a letter stating your marriage and your wish to add your spouse to your CIC file, attach the response letter you got from the PNP office when you updated them about your spouse also you need to refill some of the PR application forms which includes IMM0008, IMM5406E (include your spouse details on both), IMM5562E (since you have travelled back to your home country refill that form with your current trip dates), your spouse also has to fill this form IMM5669E (tick mark on spouse option and she has to fill this form). you have to pay fees of 550$ since your wife is getting add to your file, attach the receipt, copy of her new passport, her new NIC, police clearance, her birth certificate, 6 photos as mentioned above and courier this file to visa office who is operating your CIC process.
I hope this gave you some idea on how you should be adding your wife to your PR application.

Thank you for the reply and instructions. However I have done all the steps that you listed but it seems it doesn't help. I heard it's not that easy to add spouse on the PNP

Nothing to worry. You MUST send all requested documents and wait for their instruction. They will send medical, RPPF request for your spouse. It may take some time. Have patience. Bear in mind that you may need to provide updated bank statement for two person. Have fun & congratulation.
