Hi mantonio,
Certainly it is easier to add ur partner before u become a PR but it might cause further delays due to security,criminality,medical needs to be complete for him/her(~6 months I would think).
If you add her/him after you become PR & u gt married then it might go under SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP which is a lengthy process in my opinion.
Anyway if CIC requests ur passport say on feb 25 & u get PR visa stamped n returned to u by March 15 i.e. before u go to india. When you come back and land after ur marriage, your marital status is changed so you need to inform CIC n probably they might not let you land without spouse.
Other option is you can land before ur travel to india, apply for travel document in india to come back to canada(bcos u need PR card) with that & then add your spouse.
Congrats on ur marriage and good luck

mantonio said:Hi Everyone, I am am an April 2014 CEC applicant and my medical has been done on November 12th. I have made upfront payment for RPRF. Now, I have my marriage on March 27th and I am just thinking that, if I get my PPR request by end of this month (Hoping all April applicants will start geeting RPRF/PPR by that time), I might not be able to
send my passport as it takes around 25 days to get the passport back and I have to fly to India for my marriage. I have seen the email of PPR for a friend of mine, and there CIC mentioned for any of the status change like intend of getting married ( Do you intend to get married or divorced prior to becoming a permanent resident?) etc, then we must inform CPC-O immediately. Please suggest as I heard that, its better and easier to add dependent before getting PR.
Experts, please suggest.
Thanks,
mantonio.
