Hi All,
When I created my Express Entry profile (August 24,2018), I declared I was single because at the time I was living with my boyfriend for less than a year (6 months). I got ITA on October 15,2018 and I will be submitting my application before December 15,2018. By December 15,2018 I would have been living with my boyfriend for 10 months(still less than a year). This means that my marital status will change from single to common law, two months after submitting my application.
I believe I should I include a letter with my application,explaining that my marital status is going to change soon, and attach a copy of my boyfriends's birth certificate (since he is a Canadian citizen). Right now my marital status is locked in my application, and I cannot change it.
Is it better to explain my situation right now while sending my application rather than trying to contact immigration two months later, and notifying my change of status at that time?
What else can I do or send?
Please advise,
Thanks.
