Hi All,

I have 2 queries regarding Canadian Experience Class Entry under Express Entry Program.

1) If the Applicant under CEC gets married to a person and the application is still under progress, they inform CIC about the marital status change. Now, what is the timeline for the process to complete after adding spouse ?

2) Since the applicant is under CEC, they dont have to provide POF, but after adding spouse in their application , do they have to provide POF ?

It varies for each applicant, and at what stage you add them. It doesn't matter, you have to add them. If you don't, it is misrepresentation, and could lead to a refusal or worse.

2) Since the applicant is under CEC, they dont have to provide POF, but after adding spouse in their application , do they have to provide POF ?
No.

Many Congratulations to you ! I am sure you must have done the medicals from the panel of physicians for your wife, but don't they ask for any document ? i heard that medical reports are directly sent to CIC from the panel physicians so was just wondering where do they send it , to your application ?

Also, please share list of documents that CIC requires from you when you receive their email. Hope its quick and you both get PR soon!

Hello

My application is still in process. I informed IRCC through webform and they send me forms. This are the forms IMM0008enu, IMM5669e, IMM008depe, IMM5406e.

After submitting my all the required documents IRCC open drop box for my marriage certificate in my profile. Since then there is no update in my PR file.

Thanks
