Marriage after Acknowledgment - how does IRCC handle it?
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to better understand how IRCC handles changes in marital status during a PR application.
Specifically:
- What happens if someone gets married after submitting their application (after receiving acknowledgment)?
- Does adding a spouse at that stage affect the application assessment?
- Are there any known risks or delays when updating marital status after submission?
Also, from a general standpoint, what’s the recommended approach if someone is engaged but not yet married at the time of applying (and not in a common-law relationship)?
I’m looking for general guidance or experiences from others who’ve gone through something similar.
