Hi all..I have applied for cec on in April . Now I want to add my spouse to my application. So at what stage can I do that.i mean when I receive my aor or medicals or at a later stage.

It doesn't really matter. There are no instructions from CIC of when you can add spouse to your processing application. You can add anytime.

You should wait until you receive the file/application number. Otherwise they will not know what file to update.

Did someone added their spouse to application. What is the process? What do we need to send in to CIC. And how much are the timelines delayed

Submit a revised IMM 0008, IMM 5669, IMM 5406 and IMM 5562 for you. Submit an IMM 5669 and IMM 5406 for your wife along with a copy of your marriage certificate, copy of her passport ID page, her police clearance certificate(s) and 6 photos of her (PR size). Send a cover letter advising your marital status has changed and you want to add your spouse to the application. It should only add a couple of months onto processing time.

I have zero experience but marriage is a change in your life for which you need to update. Whether you apply for immigration for your spouse is different question but you should at least update your status. I read at another post that it will delay about 2 months

If your husband is already a permanent resident or citizen of Canada you do not have to add them to the forms. You only ADD them when they do not have PR status or are a citizen of Canada. However, you should advise CIC of your marriage, send a copy of your marriage certificate and a copy of his PR card. Your application will NOT be delayed at all since no medicals or background checks will be required for your spouse.
