Immigration Forum / Canada / August 2006Updating Spouse Details
Hi, I applied for a PR back in July 2003. I recently got married. I have the following questions: 1. I'm thinking of updating my case. Should I pay the fees for my spouse's addition to my file? 2. Should I send my spouse's photographs as well? 3. Will adding my spouse's details to my file delay my processing? 4. If I have already applied for a PR, will it be difficult for me and my spouse to get a visitor's visa for Canada? Experts, please advise. Thanks. > I applied for a PR back in July 2003.

Mark With respect to your pr application your personal circumstances have changed and you must update your file and include your wife. You have to pay the processing and right of permanent resident fees, you have to obtain the medical forms for her to do her medical and you have to supply the visa office with are the required information and forms including photos. It might delay the processing of your application however you have no option, if you do not immediately alert the visa office your application will be in jeopardy. If you are from a country that requires a visa to come to Canada you may experience difficulty in obtaining same, visa officers are very reluctant to issue visitor visas to individuals who have an immigrant application in process. There are legal precedents to allow visas but it is still at the discretion of the visa officer.

Thanks all for your responses. I've collected all her certificates, got her photographs and arranged for her fees. Some more questions: 1. Is she required to go thru medicals and language test right away? 2. Should I also fill up some form? Or just a covering letter would be sufficient?

I assume the application still in process? > I recently got married. You are *required* to report your marriage to the visa office ASAP. Not reporting major changes in your situation (and getting marriage is a very major change) can constitute misrepresentation and can cause ineligibility of PR even losing your PR status after getting it. Your spouse will have to go through background check (police clearance etc.) and medical checkup regardless whether your spouse is included in your application or not. > 1. I'm thinking of updating my case. You *have* to update your case, there nothing to think. > Should I pay the fees for my spouse's addition to my file? If you want your spouse come with you to Canada when you get PR, then you will have to add your spouse to your application, then yes, additional fee will be required. You will also need more settlement fund. > 2. Should I send my spouse's photographs as well? If you add your spouse to your application, then all the requirement will be the same as if she applied with you from the beginning. Please read through the form and instructions. > 3.

Just having PR application may add a little bit more difficulties to get visa to Canada. However, if you decide to not include your spouse to your application, and then you get your PR visa then get your PR by landing. Then it will be very-very difficult for your spouse to get visitor visa to Canada.
