@CanGoldDigger - Need your help in sharing your thoughts.
I got the ITA under PNP nomination. My situation is- I am married, separated from my wife from 2018 and divorce under process since 2024. I have been living with my new partner under common law since 2023 and have been filing income tax return together under common law, have joint accounts, insurance bill, electricity bills etc. I choose my status as common law in express entry profile. My questions are below.
1.How many family members does XXX have? (This includes XXX, a spouse or partner, dependent children, and their dependent children.)- Should i include my wife in this count?
2. I selected "Yes" to previously married question and provided end date of 2018 with the reason to end relationship as "Divorced" as this is what it thought is the most suitable from "annulment, divorce, death of partner, end of common law". and planning to provide LOE why i selected divorced even though it is still under process. Have i done right?
3. Do i also need to provide supporting document for common law even if i am not apply PR under family sponsorship category?
1. Common law, dependent children. You don't need to include your ex wife. What do you mean by their dependent children?
2. Yup, it's okay.
3. Your common law will be disclosed and included as accompanying?
Thanks @CanGoldDigger for your reply. please see my responses below your responses.
1. My divorce case is still under process so technically i am still married and IRCC requires "s the principal applicant, their spouse or common-law partner, and all dependent children to be listed". That is why i am confused whether should i include my ex wife ( divorce in process).
2. Thanks.
3. My common law is Canadian citizen and we are already living in together in Canada. So, we need to fill form IMM 50 something but not sure if we also need to provide the supporting documents to prove Common law. my thought process says i shouldn't cos i am not applying for PR under Family class sponsorship where my common law partner is sponsoring me and we need to prove our relation. What you do you think, should we still provide documents to support common law?
