Let me clarify this, is your mother had her PR yet? When did you apply your Permanent Resident?
You have independent application and your mother too.

I couldn't understand why your Mother's application and your application can conflict each other...

You don't have to worry about our application to be honest with you. Since your mother has an independent application and you have too as well.

Yes you have to declare about the Family Information but that's all about it. You can put the input about your mother living in Canada.

I couldn't see any tendencies that your application affects your mother's Permanent Residency Sponsorship. It wouldn't be a big deal it's just in the Family Information Section that you are the son of your mother (that cannot affect your application).

thank you iappreciate it, i am a daughter by the way.
 
Your mom should update her file with her visa office. Since you became common-law and now have your own app in progress through your Canadian partner, you are most likely no longer defined as a "dependent' in your mom's application. Having a dependent change to a non-dependent during processing, is a major issue that CIC should be notified of. So she should remove you from her own app, and they should just process your mom's app for her alone. If anything it should speed up your mom's app, since they now don't need to do any more checks into you anymore.

I was never a dependent she just had me as single up to March 2013. But my relationship changed to common law on our 1yr Anniversary february 2013 so thats the problem. cant she just update her info?

Spot on rob_to ...This is what I am talking about. Her mother needs to declare about the application that she has common-law partner and also she has an independent application.

If i informed she and her lawyer about my personal info and they did nothing to change it, why should it affect my own application?

If you were never a non-accompanying dependent, then I don't think it matters so don't worry about it. You were single when she submitted her application, so that is all that matters. It would only matter now if you were originally a dependent.

I doubt they will cross-compare the 2 applications or even notice this anyways. And if by some small chance they ever did and asked about it, it's very easy to explain.

Just update in the Application that you are in common-law relationship, call CIC about it or give an updated information to the Processing Centre.
That you, as her daughter is in Common-Law. That's all about it I guess...

No need. Non-dependent family members are really not that important. Lots of little things change in the time one submits an application, to when the visa is issued. CIC doesn't need to know every single small update... just the major ones.

I feel a little bit better now, thanks for ur time.
 
I'm not really sure what the lawyer meant, but since he said your applications are "different", is it possible that the info your mom provided about you (like place of birth, date of birth, your education, countries you've lived in, etc.) is different than the one you provided in your application?

If it's just the marital status (common law, single, etc) then you shouldn't worry, but your mom needs to update it. If it's something else different, then this may cause misrepresentation.

Try to check with your mom on this info, cause I believe the lawyer wouldn't say that without a valid reason. Everything about you in her file must match with your file, like I said before: education, dates, countries you've lived in, etc.

Her lawyer didnt speak to me the person who put the papers together did and told me it would be a problem without even consulting the lawyer. My mother sent in her application March 2013 with me as her single never married adult child not dependent or anything. my common law relationship came in effect feb 2013, when i found out common law relationship is in
effect after 1yr in canada asked them to update the file they never did. Thats all.
