[RA3105]

My copr is valid 25 july 2024 and I submit my spouse documents in 15 July 2024 and I receive confirmation in 8 august 2024

Hello, Did you get response from ircc to submit the documents or you have submitted via webform? For me it’s 4 months after informing and they took m cert and after that just says processing.

Hi , did you upload via web forms by yourself or they have requested the documents?

I wouldn’t call it “expired”, it would get cancelled any way with the addition of spouse. I got RFV letter and hence COPR issued same time, but I never applied for the visa and COPR because I needed to add spouse. So it didn’t matter that IRCC saw my webform after my theoretical COPR expired, because I notified them when my COPR was technically valid.

Nonetheless, you just need to send a webform to IRCC about addition of spouse and you can already google the list of forms that they will ask for later.

For ex, what they asked me for initially:
1) new RPRF fee for spouse, can be paid straight away: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/welcome.do?lang=en
2) spouse’s picture as per requirements https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/i...ormation/applications/guides/pdf/5445eb-e.pdf
3) forms: IMM 0008,IMM 5406, IMM 5669,IMM5562 E
4) spouse’s birth certificate, passport, marriage certificate, all previous marriage and divorce certificates
5) spouse’s PCCs
6) pictures and common expenses proof
7) relationship questionnaires

After they’ll add the spouse, they’ll generate her a separate UCI and with that one you can proceed to do medicals. You can’t do it before she gets a UCI. And you’ll need IRCC to check all the previous ones before asking her to submit Biometrics.

It took us around 2 months for IRCC to add spouse to application and then another 6 months to get them to the stage where they asked her to submit the fingerprints. And then we sort of passed all stages and now are just waiting for RFV letter. Waiting more than 2 months.

I got my COPR last year which was valid till 1/april/2023. I got married in Feb this year and raised a webform right away informing them of this change. I expressed my interest of getting my file reopened since I intended my wife to accompany me to Canada. I got an acknowledgement about the receipt of my enquiry through email a couple of days later. I did not hear for a long time so I email them after two weeks and then raised another webform again on 31/3/2023.

The real problem arose when I received an email from them on 3/April/2023 and they did not address my change of marital status or anything about reopening my file, they didn't even ask me for any additional documents or give me any instructions. Instead the email read as follow - "If you have a confirmation of permanent residence (COPR) that is expiring or has expired, please consult this information."

I think the IRCC officer recieved my representation after the expiry of my COPR. I think I'm in the right because I did my part my informing them on time and gave them enough time (1.5 months) to process my request. What should I do now?

No response yet. It has been 11 months. I submitted the documents via webform but still no response. I asked for GCMS notes which say file closed. But I have not received any confirmation that my visa has been refused. What should I do?
