So i recently just submitted my application to CPC Mississauga for Inland Common Law Sponsorship, i included Option C Printout for 2015 for myself and my partner where we weren't living together for income and then i included the 2016 Option C Printout where myself and my partner were living Common Law.

Myself and my partner moved into our apartment together on January 4th 2016 and we still continue to cohabit together to this date, but the date we will have lived together for a year would be January 4th 2017.

When my partner's family member filed our taxes with CRA in March of 2017 where we are already Common Law Partners she stated that on the T4 document. However i was told that it was incorrectly stated as it asked on the T4 what was our marital status on December 31st 2016 which apparently according to CRA would have been single as we hadn't lived together for a year until 4 days after that date.

So the Option C Printout i included for myself and my partner to CPC-M state Common Law, is that something to be worried about given CRA stating that it had to be the marital status of Single on December 31st 2016 even though when we submitted our taxes in March 2017 we were Common Law?

If anyone can help that'd be appreciated

You and your partner should called cra to say you common law when me and my husband got married we both called cra to say we are married even service canada for martial change
 
CRA are aware we are in a Common Law Relationship, however Service Canada have not been informed as i didn't think that was hugely necessary but i will get onto that tomorrow. What are the main reasons IRCC require your Option C Printout is it because they want to see your Income even though there isn't no requirements or to see that you aren't on Welfare or Social Assistance

Yes and also see if you guys are also at same address and martial status
 
Yes I'll call Service Canada tomorrow and ensure that's correct, we have been registered at the same address with CRA for over a year now, as we have been living Common Law for 1 year and 3 months.

IRCC won't even notice or care.

Technically, you should correct the status with CRA, especially if you received any additional credits due to being common-law.

No idea why the other poster would say to update Service Canada on your marital status.
 
Okay that's good then, i was worried that it would jeopardize the application. CRA said we should make the change for the 2016 tax return but our marital status will stay Common Law now where we are living Common Law.

It's not required to update Service Canada?
