Express entry in progress while getting married to a Canadian PR holder in Canada

[akash1989]

Hi,

I have applied for Federal express entry program on June 11th.

Currently I am in USA working on H1B visa and my girlfriend is in Canada. She is a PR holder and is working.

We are planning to get married next month in September, the marriage will take place in Canada itself.

I wanted to ask, will my marriage have any impact on my application, as of now she is not sponsoring me, I have applied for the express entry program myself. If I get the COPR during August itself then its all well and good, however if my COPR gets delayed then will getting married delay my PR approval?

Please advice.

Regards.

No it won't significantly delay your application. You must however notify IRCC of your marriage and submit updated family information form(s). This is true even if you have received your COPR but not landed by the date of your marriage.
