Separated while waiting for the PR

[WonderWomanf]

Hi all
Here is my situation: My ex-husband and I are waiting for our PR, we applied for it while we were living together. He is the main applicant, and we reached the required points as he graduated from a Canadian university. We got separated (not divorced yet) while we were waiting for our PR. Am I legally forced to request a change in the marital status in our application? what happens if he doesn't update the status till we receive our PR cards? BTW, I have updated my marital status in CIC, and not sure how should I access our PR profile as my ex is the main applicant

You guys would have waited for the PR before separating. You can move out of the house if is unsafe but waited for the PR before requesting for an official separation.

sorry for your situation, you should wait until PR things finalized ,and that doesn't mean stay together.

Thanks for the responses. We already live separately and I have updated my status in CRA and sent them proof for my separation status. If my ex-husband (the main applicant) or I don't request a change in the marital status of our PR application, would it cause me or him any future legal problem?

I hope so. Please update us on how everything works out. Good luck.

How about my citizenship application, Does this fact that the separation data (not divorce date) is before our PR application be completed will cause any problem?
