Please be advised that under the new Immigration Refugee and Protection Act (IRPA) principal applicants cannot be alternated after the processing of an application begins. If applicants wish to have their spouse or common-law partners considered as the principal applicant, the original application should be closed and a new application, including new processing fees should be submitted to our office. However, if your spouse has information or documents that you feel will support your application and would like to have considered during the review process you are welcome to submit them.
