Should I write to ICA to update my wife's salary?

Post by raptor_from_vietnam » Mon, 23 Feb 2026 3:34 pm

Hi all, my family of 3 (me, wife and a kid) submitted our PR application back in Jul-2025. My wife had her increment this year, which brought her monthly salary to 10k+ range. I heard somewhere that this is the 1st psychological mark for ICA to decide if somebody is economically productive, so it is worth updating ICA. Unfortunately, when we were about to update it in the system, the update document button has gone missing, indicating that the case is closed for review. May I check if I should write to ICA to update them on my wife's salary increase? Or there is no point updating now since they have made their decision?

Was the percentage increase significant, like from $5,000 to $10,000? If yes, then it is worth updating.

But if she was already earning $9,000 and now it’s $10,000, it’s not going to make any difference.

Nonetheless, congrats to your wife and good luck on your application.
