@legalfalcon and other experienced members, please advise
Steps to follow to take your spouse with you ? Will she be able to work there ?

If you are main applicant, then you just need to send webform to IRCC about your marraige, they will request you to fill some forms, provide supporting documents and do medicals etc. Make sure to check with them once you have provided the documents and your wife is included in your application. Once you both get the PR, both can work , no limitations there.

1 - If you have already applied, that you will be judged based on the experience you already submitted to them. Subsequent changes does not impact your application. so no action required.

2- No as all communication happens on registered email address or portal. still you can send a webform about the change of address, expect a month or more to be updated in your records.

1. If you changed your NOC post submission, you do not have to do anything. IF you changed your employer, you have to inform IRCC so that if they want to verify your employment they are aware that you no longer work thgere.

2. YEs, send a webform and inform IRCC of the change of address. IF it's in the same country, not a big deal.

If your application is already in progress, you have to inform IRCC of a change in the family composition and send IRCC the documents to add your spouse to the application.

After your inform IRCC via webform, usually, these are the documents that will be requested:

1. An IMM8 Application
2. Schedule A form for spouse
3. Additional Family Information form for primary applicant and spouse.
4. Fee receipt for spouse - Processing fee ($550) and right of permanent residence fee ($490).
5. Birth Certificate of spouse, translation, and affidavit of translation.
6. Copy of Spouse's Passport
7. Copy of marriage certificate and marriage registration
8. Wedding Card and Photographs
9. Police clearance certificate for the primary applicant and spouse
10. Spouse's upfront medical
11. Letter of Explanation (If required)

Once your spouse is added to the application, you will be issued a COPR/PR visa.

Hi, can I add my common-law partner after AOR?
Also, I wonder what the average response time is for the Webform these days...
Many thanks!

The definition of common law for IRCC is

In the immigration context, a common-law partnership means that a couple have lived together for at least one year in a conjugal relationship [R1(1)]. A common-law relationship exists from the day on which two individuals can provide evidence to support their cohabitation in a conjugal relationship. The onus is on the applicant to prove that they have been living common-law for at least one year before an application is received at CPC-M.

A common-law relationship is legally a de facto relationship, meaning that it must be established in each individual case, based on the facts. This is in contrast to a marriage, which is legally a de jure relationship, meaning that it has been established in law.

If you were in a CL, you had to declare it in your initial application, unless you just entered into CL.

Thank you. In my case, I entered into CL after the AOR.

Thank you. In my case, I entered into CL after the AOR.

I am not privy to your case, so I cannot affirmatively state anything.

Also, any response from me should not be construed as legal advice.

I have pointed out the regulations that apply to your case, and you can make a determination. Alternatively, you can contact an immigration lawyer for your case to be assessed.

Thanks a ton for detailed response.
Just one additional piece of information, what happens if we marry post copr ? Visitor visa only option ?

COPR does not matter. Your status as a PR matters. Unless you land in Canada, after a COPR is issued, and are admitted until then you are not a PR.

Even if you have been issued a COPR, before you land, your family composition changes, you have to inform IRCC, and add the family members to your application. Your COPR will be cancelled, the application will be reopened, and after the new individual is processed, new COPRs and PR visas will be issued.

If you have landed, then your family member can get a visitors visa or you can apply for family sponsorship.

The above is presuming that you are not in Canada.

If you are in Canada, and get a e-COPR, effective the day you receive the COPR or the date on the COPR, whichever is earlier, you are deemed to have attained the status of PR.

Same here. AOR March 2021. No updates. However, I am not going for upfront medicals, as I have been advised by many to not to do that. I am waiting for a request on my profile for that to happen
[/QUOT
Upfront medical is good option

This is tricky !
Suppose after PPR I get married and raise a web form, the ppr would be cancelled and then process for new person will begin.

Is there an option that I inform IRCC about new person, then land in Canada alone and then call her on visa ?
