If you are holding a closed work permit, I assume it will be a different category, when you run through the eligibility check, it will tell you which kind you are fit into.
Hi guys,
I submitted an express entry application in December 2016, my file went for security screen and has been pending decision since. During this time I got married and updated CIC with the marriage certificate but then my spouse and I got separated and case for legal separation/divorce is under progress.
My Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) is due to expire in couple of months and I need to get it bridged through BWOP (Bridging Open Work Permit), while I wait for the decision on my PR application.
As the separation is in works and a final divorce certificate hasn't been issued yet. What should I declare in my marital status? Should I keep it married or should I put "divorced" in there? I don't have a divorce certificate if they ask me to provide one.
Please advise me on this unfortunate and messed up situation. Thanks.

No AOR when I applied, also I applied again recently, they don't really ask for AOR, they will know in their system.
Then I think I can apply without AOR.
I hoped that they can check in thier system!!
Thank you for your reply.
