Hi Guys,
I've tried to check if there's already a topic on this forum about getting married during the PR process, but I couldn't find any.
If you guys can find a link to an existing topic, please do share the link.
I hope this will help those who have held off on marriage until the PA get's PR and are thinking of adding spouse later.
In my understanding, it's harder to add spouse later since you have to act as a sponsor and show income proof for a year etc.
So here's my current situation....
I have got my nomination from OINP in Jan and I've already submitted my application to IRCC 2 weeks ago.
I'm thinking of doing a court marriage and add my spouse to my application. She already has ECA and valid IELTS so it won't take much time. And I have the POF to show.
Here are my questions.
Do I need to inform OINP about my marriage since they recalculate scores? I am getting 3 more points by adding my spouse.
Do I need to raise a case on IRCC website before getting married asking what procedure to follow?
Do we need to apply for new passports so we have spouse's names showing on either one?
Please do share/contribute/comment on this. I hope it helps others who are in a similar situation.
Thanks.
