Husband charged after sponsorship approval and becoming a PR

[alejandro27]

Hello, I need some urgent advice. I became a PR a month ago but my Husband who is my sponsor was charged for a criminal offense yesterday. Before I became a PR I received a letter from IRCC with the next:

You must inform us immediately via the IRCC webform of any of these changes:
 marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation
 death of
o the sponsor
o the principal applicant or
o any accompanying family member
 birth or adoption of a child, including grandchildren born to dependent children
you (the principal applicant) or any of your family members have been charged or convicted of a criminal offence

At that time, neither I or any of my family members had criminal charges so I had nothing to notify, but now my husband has a criminal charged. Do I have to send a webform and notify IRCC of this? Or it was just in case there was any criminal charges before landing and becoming a PR?.

The updates are meant to be made while an application in progress.
You were already a PR when the charges happened. So nothing to worry there.

You don't need to notify anyone since it happened after you became a PR.
