Hi, We are thinking to do the same, can you update me what happened with your file? is it ok to update details while the PR application is in process, also how long it took to change name in passport in India?
Please guide me through it, thanks!
Yes we did submit the IRCC webform today with the reissued passport and also the old passport pdf for IRCC's reference. In the complete guide for spousal PR application, it is clearly mentioned that any updates in the documents should be addressed asap. Please see below excerpt from the complete guide:
""The person you’re sponsoring and their accompanying family members must have valid passports or travel documents when they arrive. Any documents that are about to expire should be renewed. The person being sponsored should send copies of the new passport or travel document to the office processing the application.
If the passport of the person you are sponsoring or their accompanying family members (if applicable) is renewed or replaced while their application is in process, you must advise us as soon as possible to avoid delays.
You can’t use diplomatic, official, service or public affairs passports to immigrate to Canada. The person being sponsored must have a valid regular or private passport when they arrive.""
It took us 7 days to add spouse's name on principal applicant's passport (under normal application type at PSK center). If you do tatkal (expedited) application type, it would be even quicker. Choose Reissue of passport when you choose application type at PSK center.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Anuj
