.

Please I am in a similar position, got my PPR yesterday and my wedding is on 31st, if I raise my webform on that same day, will the 30 days ultimatum for submitting my passport stop counting?

I don’t understand the question but to the best of my knowledge, the 30 days started counting when you got the PPR and you still have to inform them of change in family configuration if there’s any before you submit passport.

Please call IRCC on telephone and cry for help. This will work.

You also need to know where your visa office is so you can shoot mail directly to this office

Been unable to reach them from Nigeria. Only time I was able to reach them, it was via third party phone call.

I am assuming you have not landed yet...you can add spouse at anytime before landing......perhaps this is just the normal COVID delay that many are experiencing.

Did IRCC advise you what docs to submit (e.g. IMM5406 etc)? If they did and you already sent them before (via placeholder or CSE), no harm in re-sending via webform. You could also do your own remedicals and send them the eMedicals form via webform.

Your current age doesn't matter, age is locked at ITA.

_{Ps: people used to look forward to birthdays...with IRCC....forever young portions needed....}

Changes to family composition
Family members can be added to the application at any time during the process, including after the visa is issued, but prior to obtaining permanent resident status. Applicants are instructed to inform IRCC immediately if their family composition has changed (e.g., birth of a child, marriage, divorce)

I have not even gotten the Visa yet. I got the PPR letter and added spouse after this. Perhaps it is the covid delay but the wait is just worrisome.
That asked for the docs to submit, they were all submitted and they have acknowledged receipt of these documents.
All the web forms raised just keep getting the response that they have the documents and are processing bla bla bla and that I/We will be contacted if additional information is required.

It's really sad for the delay man. I understand IRCC delays applications for addional dependents for some reason. A friend of mine got PPR I'm November 2019 and was due to deliver her child in January... For some reason, she decided to wait back to deliver here and add the baby before processing the VISA... Till date, no word from IRCC. Not sure if its a deliberate decision but I think you should keep writing them, perhaps it will help.

Wow this is Tiring. And to think they still expect to be notified of job, address changes and all despite these delays brought by changes.

If you added spouse after landing/soft landing it won't be cancelled. Hope for the best

It was clearly written on the PPR letter that if your family configuration has changed, you should inform the Visa Office/ indicate before submitting your passport after which you will be unable to do so.
The wedding was 2 weeks after the PPR.

If you travel without marriage, it will be spousal support.
If you marry, but travel without adding spouse and want to add later, won’t that be misrepresentation?

Tope235:
My opinion (others might also give a contrary view) would be to travel with your COPR so its doesn't expire and then do a spousal application for your wife. Please bear in mind that the spousal route takes about a year but its safer so you don't lose out on both ends instead of just waiting endlessly. Once COPR expires, chances of it being reissued is very slim, but its not impossible. A bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush

*Mythoughts*

My thoughts too about the bird in hand, but I read spousal support takes at least a year and even longer. So I thought why not just add and let the two processes be complete together? That way, boo can join whenever is most convenient.
However, It’s 10th month of waiting and praying now. The whole thing is just getting confusing and worrisome.

Dear House,
Please help look into this:
I started my application alone.
ITA was received in September 2019. Age 30, birthday in May.
Medicals and Biometrics done in October 2019.
PPR was finally issued in February 2020.
I decided to add spouse to avoid boredom in strange land and hurdles of sponsoring spouse later on. Marriage took place first week in March and notification sent to CIC.
All the documents for the spouse( Medicals and Police report) were also prepared immediately after marriage as we expected this would be submitted.
We submitted all documents and added spouse to application by 3rd week in March, including police report and medicals.
Till date, CIC has not responded to enquiries or provided update for spouse or requested for her biometrics. All web forms keep getting the same response that it is being processed and that additional information will be asked if required. We requested for GCMS notes and the last update on it stated April 2020.
Please what could be causing the hold up, do we keep raising web forms or just wait and hope for the best?
I will be 32 in 2021. Is age going to be a factor?
Lest I forget, my passport even expired during this process on my birthday. I have gotten a new passport, and added it to my application. Needless to say, my medicals is also over a year.
