MARRIED BEFORE LANDING

[sameerb]

Hi main applicant Got visa and copr and get married before landing and applied for change in family composition if spouse immigrant visa get rejected what will happen to main applicant visa and copr already issued

 

[k.h.p.]

If the spouse is inadmissible to Canada given criminality, etc., it may have an impact. Otherwise, if the primary applicant has a PR and is adding their spouse, this won't generally be an issue at all.

The main applicant cannot land (go to Canada) with the COPR not mentioning the marriage. If they do, they will never be allowed to sponsor.

Hi!
I am planning to get married after I get my visa (Outland FSW) and before I land, would this affect my landing in anyway? I'm asking since all my scores in express entry were calculated based on my being single status.
And how could my wife join me? I'm assuming I'll have to initiate a sponsorship process after I land but is there any quicker route?

Yes, if you get married after you get your visa and before you land, you cannot land without having your visa re-opened and your spouse added. Even if she is not accompanying you in the application.

If you land, after having been married, and without having her added to your COPR, you will be barred from ever sponsoring her.

Just to make sure, by "re-opening the visa" you mean they calculate CRS points again and check eligiblity?
Thanks a lot!

No.

You application will be reopened, but your score will not change. Your spouse will have to undergo medical and produce PCC at a minimum. This process will take some more months and you should not complete landing until both of you receive modified COPRs.
