Q & A: Inclusion of a Fiance(e)

CIC News
Published: February 1, 1998

Q. I am about to be engaged next month and would like to apply for my fiancee too so that we can possibly undergo medical/interviews/landing etc together.

Answer: If you be married prior to the conclusion of your application, it would not be a problem to have your future spouse included in the application as an accompanying dependent. "Fiancee" is not technically considered within the definition of a dependent. As such, inclusion of a fiancee is discretionary.
