Hi here’s my situation..
I've been living in shared accommodation with friends since my university days in Canada, starting in 2019. Among them, one of the guys expressed his feelings for me and proposed in April 2023. I also had feelings for him, and we began living together since then. My application for permanent residency (PR) has been in the pool since 2022, and I received my Invitation to Apply (ITA) in October. Although we were in a relationship, I couldn't include him in my application as a common-law partner because we hadn't lived together for more than a year when I submitted my application, and we don't have any shared accounts or other proof. I submitted my documents in December. We recently got married in February 2024, with a few friends present, and I submitted this update to my profile through a webform. I'm uncertain about how the IRCC officer will assess this situation and what additional documents we might need to provide. Can anyone offer guidance?

Which stream did you apply your PR?
Since you are NOT yet a PR, this is not consider as family class sponsorship. Do not know the exact answer on how to add your spouse under the specific economic stream. Post your question in the related section of the forum to get more detail respond.

In general, you should add your spouse to your application. He will need to go through medical, police and background check in your application. And once approved, you and him will become PRs under the same application. As long as you DO NOT land/virtual land and become PR until he is added and approved at the same time, it's OK.

I applied through Express Entry. Even though adding him reduced my points by 2, I'm still eligible for the draw, and I got picked up. Should I post this under express entry?

Yes. Many people add spouse during the process. You should be able to find other related discussions there.
