marital status has chenged

[Tina14]

Hi,
I have sent my documents in 2013 and I got the UCI number not file number yet. My package is returned and they have asked me for additional documents (there are marks on my package that shows it has been checked by them).
Now, my marital status is changed and I am separated. In my previous documents I stated that I am married and I provided the marriage certificate, but now I am separated (not officially) and I want to remove all documents related to my partner.
How can I explain this or is it fine if I just remove the marriage certificate and say that I am single now? I don't like to lie I want to be transparent and tell the truth, but I don't have any legal proof for the separation and I don't know how should I act.
Your kind advice is highly appreciated.
Best regards,

Any help????

You are legally married but separated.

So what I suggest, you write separated in the application and then remove all details of your partner
Thats best solution to the problem

No, this is NOT the best solution to the problem!! This "solution" will get Tina rejected for misrepresentation and banned from Canada for 2 years or longer. It is absolutely NOT ALLOWED to omit a spouse to whom you are still legally married.

A separation that is not official, in the eyes of CIC, is not a separation. If Tina is preparing a new application, she must still provide all information on her spouse as if they were still together. Everything will be processed as though she were still married, including the requirement for spouse's documents, PCCs, medical exam, POF, etc.

Even if you list your spouse as non-accompanying, criminality checks (including PCC) and medical exams will still be required. The only way to avoid this is to get divorced, or to get legally separated and explain this to CIC, and see what their response is to you. Expect extra scrutiny in the case of a separation.

Good luck.

Yes, of course I'll share my infos. with you as having the reply of CIC. I provided the letter of confirmation of our separation in which my spouse and me signed with the notary's witness. I hope they'll accept this document, they required to provide a legal evidence of separation.
