Common-law to Marriage

Good afternoon again folks.

So, I'm wondering if you've had personal experience with a situation similar to the following;

I've got an application with my common-law partner, she is named and is down to come with myself so her points are already taken in to account.

We are planning on getting married in October, what would we do if they are processing our application (providing we get selected) and our status changes? No points should change because she was always disclosed from the beginning, do I just contact them and provide the marriage certificate and that will now take precedence over any common-law forms and proof we provided?

Or will our application be declined or what?

Thank you again for your time! :)

Yes you should inform them.
No it will not negatively affect your application

Yes, that is all. It will have no impact on your application.

No impact. You need to marry the same person as specified in your application. That's all.
