Hello everyone, I have a similar doubt. My COPR might come anytime within 2-3 months and most probably since I did my medicals this month itself, my COPR might have validity till March 2025 and my marriage is planned for Dec 2024. I want to know when will be the best time to update IRCC about this change. Will it be better to raise a webform once I am married in Dec with all the documents ready for my spouse? Also once I raise the webform, they will cancel my current COPR anyway so it wont matter that the validity of the COPR is only till March 2025. Correct? I am new here and looking forward to some guidance since I am doing the whole immigration process on my own without help of any agency.

Hello,

Can anyone who successfully completed the process of spouse addition post their timeline? It’s been a while that I have been waiting for a response from IRCC on my webforms.

Thanks

you need to inform IRCC as soon as you get married. Don’t forget to send them a copy of your marriage certificate in the webform.

Hello ,
I want to find out if you were able to resolve this ?
Thanks

Hi all

I requested IRCC to add spouse to my application after CoPR because I got my CopR just 4 days before my marriage was planned.

They asked me to send some documents, which took some time but I sent them all docs. But after that I kept on waiting and my CopR which was on single status go expired.

I recently received a reply for my webform which says since your CoPR has expired, apply again.

This is soooo unfair.

What should I do?
