Hi everyone,
I need help understanding how to correctly declare my separation date for my PR/Express Entry application.
My timeline is:
If I declare my separation date as May 4, 2024 in PR application to maintain consistency, will it create any issue or contradiction since my spouse later applied for a visitor visa in 2025 (though it got rejected) using our marital relationship for the purpose of visiting me?
I want to ensure my PR application is consistent and does not look like misrepresentation.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

- Married: April 2024, Lived with my wife in India until May,2024.
- I came to Canada after that for my higher studies and my spouse lived in India since then.
- Spouse applied for Canada visitor visa: February 2025 (refused March 2025)
- After that we decided to divorce each other due to some personal issues.
- Divorce proceedings: first motion/signatures completed in May, 2026 - so I am now proceeding as legally separated in the marital status for my PR application.
- Separation mentioned in divorce petition in India: Since May, 2024, since we didn't lived together.
