Yes, its a standard procedure nowadays..! Try to arrange as many supporting documents as possible. Especially wedding pictures and financial support documents.

My documents were reached to Ottawa on Feb 21 and I have received PPR on March 21, so exactly 1 month.

Patience is the key bro :)
 
Hi
I got the same email too for the additional docs. I am in canada and my husband is in India. My husband was not added at the the later stage , but was already in the application when I applied. Its been almost six years since we got married. I am here for more than six years. I notified CIC when we got married and reconfirmed my status at later stage. And I have no idea why they are asking for these docs in my case.
I am waiting for the docs from my husband .I Will receive them by the end of this week and will send all the docs together next to Ottawa. Any advise.

Thanks,

Hi,

Your case seems similar to mine. I just have a question, when you get the passport request, how are you going to send your wife's passport. Since she is another country. Do you mind telling which country she is from . Because what I heard for India, you can not send your passport out side of India through mail.
I am wondering if I do get the passport request, what options do I have because my husband is in India.

Thanks,

My wife was traveled to Canada on dependent visa, she is now in Canada. One of my friend had similar situation like you, he sent his dependent passport to Canada with one of his friend who was traveling to Canada.

i am not exactly sure how this is going to work out for my case..but my educated guess will be ..they will ask to sent her passport to the local high commission/embassy..type of thing..i am just praying everything works out okay and get PPR soon..i am sure they will mention on PPR email for her with instruction .....note that many applicants apply here under CEC and then leave...or move to a different country....and their case gets processed accordingly and i believe they dont send the passport to canada but to their local canadian visa center..

you might want to check the following topic..even though its not exactly same as our case but will give you some idea..

Adding spouse's application to ongoing PR application under CEC

Hi guys,

I reside in Canada on work permit (Valid till: Sep,2015). I applied for PR under CEC in February, 2014. I visited India recently and got engaged. Then we did court marriage in the after a week. We did not have a traditional marriage ceremony. We are planning this ceremony in January 2015.
I am planning to add her to my ongoing PR application. (I dont have as many proofs like you guys as this relationship is very recent)

PR application results will take more than a year. So, I am wondering if I can apply dependent work permit for her or no? Or visitor visa is the only way to go? We want to be together as soon as possible.

Any suggestions are welcome. Please guide me.

Could any one plz post list of IMM forms that CIC ask us to fill-out when we want to add spouse at latter stage of the application.
At least it would help me to review those forms well in advance and keep it ready. As soon I will be getting married & will inform CIC to add my wife to my application.
