I received the e-mail of acknowledgement the day after I saw changes in the MyCIC account (the file number going from the temporary one with the X in front to just one with F). The e-mail came very early on a Saturday morning. My guess is they have those set up to go out on an automated schedule of some sort, so the fact that it's a Saturday isn't that strange.

Question: If someone applies under express entry. and later that person gets married adds his spouse under the same application. Is there any chance that the person's wife might not get PR under excessive health demand inadmissibility?

Both spouses must meet the medical requirements, and applicants in Express Entry are not exempt from the excessive demand clause. If the wife is inadmissible, then so is the spouse. Neither applicant would get PR in this situation.

I aso think that this is a batch processing, sending automated emails over the weekend. Thanks for sharing your story :)

Hello, can anyone please help me about a situation I have. My wife's (sponsor) passport is going to expire in May, 2017. She is planning to renew it now. Do we have to notify CIC about this? If yes, when ( when applied for new passport or after getting new passport?)? and how should we do it? I am guessing through CSE I can scan and upload pages of passport but should we also send a photocopy by courier?

Thanks
Sam

Hey Sam,
I answered this one in the inland 2016 thread....

CSE with a pdf copy of the new passport, and advise CIC of the updated passport.

However, if the applicant marries later after getting PR and sponsors the PR of spouse then the spouse will be exempt from the medical admissibility under excessive demand right?

Sponsors aren't even required to have a passport for this process, so there is no need to update IRCC that she is renewing hers. They won't care.

And what's the deficit to not making CIC aware? For example, landing interview for inland applications? Would the ID provided then not be valid?

My partner and I are mailing our inland application today... for the OWP, do we need to include all the documents listed on the Document Checklist (IMM 5556) or do I just need to include the Application to Change Conditions or Extend Your Stay in Canada (IMM 5710) along with the fee payment receipt?

Hi! I am currently completing the requirements for our application. Hope you could help me with my questions:

1. Should i place the barcode pages on top of the checklist? Because the guide says place the barcode page on top of your application.

2. I have middle name ( my mothers last name) on my passport and other documents. For example: Santos (family name) , Maria (given name) Perez (middle name). The forms don't ask for middle name but emphasize to put name as seen on passport.
Thanks in advance!
