Hi,
My CEC application is in process I applied in June 2016, But I am about to get married in next 1 month.
1) To add my spouse to the PR application, does she need to undertake IELTS ?
2) What other documents do I need for her application?
3) Any specific points to be taken care of.
2) Its my 5th Month into the application. How much more would my application extend when I add my spouse to the application.

Any links I could read?
Thanks in Advance.

I would be only replying to the questions I know the answer to. Other than that please post your question in Family Class Sponsorship forum. You'll get more answers.
Just to let you know you will need to get married first and then you can add your spouse.

1/ No
4/ Adding a spouse usually adds on another 3 to 6 months onto your timeline, but there has been cases that stretched for a year or so.

Best of luck,

No, to the IELTs.

Documents you will need:
- Marriage certificate
- Her passport. If they are processing the application under old rules, maybe her birth certificate as well. If she has previously been married, documents for that marriage.
- Police clearances for all countries she has lived in for a cumulative 6 months, since the age of 18

She will also have to do the medical exam, and complete a set of forms for herself.

After you get married, just send a CSE and inform IRCC about your change of marital status, and request instructions on how to add your spouse. They will tell you what you need...

My source is a friend of mine and this forum. No I don't have a an official link for you. Every applicant is unique, so is every application, depending on the documents they provide and their nationality, timelines may differ.
