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.

Canadian Citizenship Application definition of Marital Status:

  • Separated - This means that you are married, but are no longer living with your spouse.
  • Single - This means that you have never been married and are not in a common-law relationship.
