Hello,
I have a pending PR application (going on 10 months now). I am the main applicant and my application includes my husband and daughter.
However, my husband's EP was not renewed and he will be out of work by end Jun. I will be applying him as my DP.
In this case, do I need to inform ICA of the change in my husband's work status, even though he is not the main applicant in our PR application? Or do I only need to inform them if there are changes pertaining to my status/circumstances (the main applicant).
Thank you in advance.
ANY CHANGE related to EACH individual in the APPLICANTS list MUST be informed to the ICA. However, ICA will automatically know when he changes his status from EP to DP. But do you want ICA to feel like they found out by themselves about this change, without you informing them? That is upto you, but i suggest please dont play with ICA. The best way is to inform the change after he changes to DP. There are four things that ICA encourages to inform/update when there is a change in these factors during pending status.
1. Marital status, 2. Change of address, 3. Change of employment, 4. Educational certificates (if completed a new course).
For your case, your husband's employment information has now changed, so better inform them. You being the main applicant or not does not matter. 'Main Applicant' is just for their administrative purpose, something like a correspondent author for an article.
YOU NEED TO INFORM THE CHANGES TO ICA, NO MATTER IF IT IS REGARDING YOU OR YOUR HUSBAND OR YOUR KID. Just wanted to say this as someone who has gone through this journey and i dont want you to jeopardize your chances by not being upfront with ICA.
