Renewing PR Card online - but it's asking for a common law stat?

[takemeaway]

Hello -I have 2 questions regarding applying for a PR card renewal online.

1. It's asking if I traveled overseas accompanying a Canadian citizen. I did. But I only spent 100 days outside Canada in the past 5 years. Do I click "NO" to this question? Why do they make everything so difficult. I overthink these things because if I click "NO" will it be misrepresentation? If I click "YES" I have to provide his information and include him in the travel history when it doesn't even matter for eligibility. UGH!

2. They are asking for a common-law statutory declaration for the online application. I am in a common-law relationship but why is this relevant? It doesn't ask for one in the document checklist. Do I still have to provide one?


Thank you.

1. I would click no, it's not a material thing so don't even think about the misrepresentation aspect.
2. I don't think this is relevant if you put no as answer to first. But not certain.

THANK YOU! I know they're still asking for a common-law declaration to upload for the online application. It says "if applicable" but like seriously, what does that even mean? If I don't upload one they might send the freakin application back. If anyone else has an opinion please let me know!

I'd leave it out but it's up to you. If applicable means don't upload if not applicable. IMO.

Up to you though.
