Document Checklist (Spouse or CL Partner In Canada)...bottom of page 1 question

[Ponga]

Form IMM5443 (08-2013) E.

Last item under PHOTOCOPIES:

Declaration of severance of common-law relationship______________
Note: The Sponsor and the applicant who are common-law or conjugal partners must provide historical evidence of their ongoing relationship. ...[more].


So, the obvious question is...how can we place a check mark in THAT box?? Severance of CL relationship?!??!?! That pretty much defeats the purpose of applying for CL sponsorship. :-\

Is this for someone that was CL and are now married and applying as a married couple?
Sorry, but this makes little sense to either of us.

It's for someone who was in a common-law relationship prior to their current partner.

Just put N/A in the box.
