Not declared common law

[spade]

I'm with my gf since 2010 in kuwait and had an opportunity to come in canada in 2012 - while filling up forms in 2012 I didnt declare her as common law but single, honestly I dont know about it. We came here as single in our papers. In 2013 we applied under AINP and still we decided apply individually. In 2014 I proposed a marriage and we're palnning about it already. In May 2015 I got my nomination and submitted my PR
application and unfortunately hers got refused. And we decided to get married this coming August 19 and add her afterwards in my application since my papers is still in initial stage. If we will talking about genuineness of relationship, we have lots of proof within almost 6 years of being together but I'm worried about those application that I just put single and did not declare her. And decided to just add her after marriage in my pr application.
Is there anyone can help me whats the best way to do? Or any opinion with my situation that can help?

Thank you

You have no choice but to add her to your AINP application since you are now married. Whether CIC ends up having an issue with the fact that you falsely declared you were single on previous applications is anyone's guess. They may or they may not. The issue here is not whether your relationship is genuine or not. The issue is that you made false declarations regarding your status on two immigration applications. Having said that, it's entirely possible CIC will overlook this. You'll have to just add her and hope for the best.

I'm thinking she will be excluded from the Family Class under paragraph 117(9). Not sure if the spouse of an AINP PR is considered Family Class, however I would think so.

The OP is not yet a PR, so there is still time to fix this...
