Hi all,
I have recently just realized that you automatically enters a common-law relationship, not by choice. My partner is Canadian and we lived together from 2019 June until now. I have received PR through express entry in Sep 2019 and at the application I have declared single as I did not know that I was in a common-law relationship. Recently I have applied for citizenship and I claimed as single as well.
Until today I realized I was automatically common-law and should have did all the taxes under that status which I did not.
We started living Jun 2019 - Jan 2021, moved into another place together from Jan 2021. Should I just declare it from Jan 2021, or all the way back from 2019?
I am very angry at myself for not knowing this earlier, what do you all recommend? Should I call CRA and IRCC to change my status from 2019 immediately? Would my partner have to do the same? If the CRA and IRCC found out this will my PR status be revoked?
please help!!
