out of Canada 4 years, living with canadian citizen as common law

[ikovach]

Hi, I was out of Canada for 4 years but living with my Canadian citizen common-law partner. Now we are separated. I met the residency obligations but What is best to declare when I enter Canada: 1. I was outside Canada for 4 years living with my ex-common law canadian citizen (for 2 years) or 2. I was outside Canada for a month - hoping that everything will be ok. Thanks!
