I applied for the Canadian Experience Class back in March and I'm still waiting for the final decision regarding permanent residency. At the time of applying, I was legally considered as single, however it has now been a year since my girlfriend and I have signed a lease agreement. Although I disagree with the forced status change, I guess we are now considered a common-law marriage. As a side note, she is non-Canadian and we both are living in Vancouver with a Work Permit.
Am I obligated to update my status in the Express Entry application? If so, will I essentially be her sponsor? Also, how will this affect the application and decision making process going forward?
