I am currently working in the United States and have a job offer in Canada starting this fall. I submitted my application for Express Entry late April and my medical exam was approved in the middle of May. Today, I received a "Ready for Visa" email from IRCC looking like this:
"

I have a wedding planned in two weeks. It means my marital status will be changed then. My question is: shall I submit a web form explaining my situation now or after the wedding? In addition, in my city, the marriage certificate will only be available several weeks after the wedding, will it cause any delay if they ask me to prove my marriage? My partner is not coming with me to Canada, and I already asked him to prepare the medical exam and the police certificate, are these all materials that will be needed? (That's all I have found on the website.) Thank you!
Finally, besides this marital status change thing, I was also curious how long it usually takes to get it back after I mail the passport to them? I have different travel plans in the months to come. I need to plan ahead if I will cannot get my passport back in time.
