ITA received - Should I add spouse now?

[Tuaha Buksh]

Hello Fellow Members,
Looking forward to your opinion and experiences of adding spouse after receiving ITA. I received my ITA in the last draw August 5th. I am engaged and scheduled to get married in December. My fiance gave her Ielts and we received her result yesterday. After adding her in my profile, my CRS is now 478 which is higher than 476 the cut of score of the respective draw.
I now have the option of getting married earlier and changing my status before submitting my application. I plan on taking my spouse to Canada with me.
The other option is to aubmit my application now, get married in December and then add her later.

I would like to know if anyone added their spouse after receiving ITA and before submitting the application? How did it go? If there were any challenges within the process?

Get married, update your profile and then go for ITA, adding spouse later will take more time for her to come, already the waiting times are higher because of covid. If you will go alone now it will take approx 9-12 months for your spouse to come to canada.

Hey, Thanks for the reply. But I already have my ITA.
The question whether to add now or after AOR

Apply and recieve AOR, get married and add her. Don't land as single without adding her obviously. If you add her now, your points will be re-assessed. Points won't be re-assessed if you add her after applying.

This is only if he lands, gets married and send a spousal sponsorship application.

Yeah but as far as points reassessment is concerned, after adding her, my points are still over the draw cut off, so that's not really an issue. The issue any other impact this might make on my application.

The thing is you are not married yet, you will need to provide proof of marriage .

As advised earlier, submit your file, add her after getting married, anyways your case will be in progress till you get married in December.
