First of all congratulations on your marriage.Hi Guys, I have a similar situation but with some changes & would appreciate if someone could provide guidance on it.
Both I and my girlfriend had separately applied for Express Entry on Jan 2020. This was because we were not sure if our marriage would happen soon & did not want to delay our plans to immigrate. We got our GCMS notes last week and seems we both cleared the Criminality, Proof of Funds, Experience, Education & background checks. But due to the delay in processing due to Covid, we are not sure when we can expect a completion and issue of CoPR etc. Our parents have agreed to our relation now and we are thinking about getting married !! Yaay!!
My concerns are:
1. If we both get confirmation next month & our marriage is in Oct or so, I understand that we will both have to notify IRCC and have them include this change of status. Will this delay our CoPR by 4-6 months since we both already have individually cleared the requirements?
2. Should we instead do a soft landing and return to get married?
2nd of all its a good idea to go for soft landing, come back and then get married. I am suggesting you this because there are no timelines as to when they will process your marriage documents. In this covid situation there are already many expired visa files which is on priority for them. Your case may delay unnecessarily.
