No option to add family members on your SINP profile? That's expected at this stage

Step-by-Step

If you've submitted your SINP profile and can't find any field to add a spouse or child:

  1. Don't withdraw or resubmit your profile. The absence of a family-member field at the SINP profile stage is normal, not a sign something is broken or missing from your submission.

  2. Wait until you receive an ITA. Family members are added at the application stage after invitation, not within the initial SINP profile itself.

  3. Keep your profile as-is in the meantime and prepare your family members' documents so you're ready to add them promptly once the ITA-stage application opens up that option.


This is simply a sequencing quirk of the SINP process rather than an error on your part — no action is needed until you're invited.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Don't: Don't withdraw and resubmit your SINP profile just because there's no family-member field — this is expected at the profile stage.
  • Tip: Family members get added after you receive an ITA, not within the initial SINP profile.
