Hi all, I’m in the middle of filling out my citizenship application online and I just have a concern about marital status.
I got my PR through common law sponsorship, however the relationship broke down a year later, I’ve updated my CRA account to separated but what status should I put on my citizenship application?
CRA definition of Marital Status:
Separated means that you have been living apart from your spouse or common-law partner because of a breakdown in the relationship for a period of at least 90 days.
Single means that none of the other marital statuses applies to you.
