Urgent - Query on Indian PCC from Canada - Marital Status

[neo69]

Hi I have the below question . I am WP in Canada and my spouse is also with me. We need to apply for Indian PCC for express entry.

The problem is - We got married 3 years back but our parents don't know about it. And we don't want them to know as well just yet :

My passport doesn't have my spouse name and our marriage is not registered in India as well - we had got married out side India.
I had got my passport renewed last year from Canada and in that also i had listed marital status as Single.

How to proceed with PCC -form in BLS is asking for Marital Status - can we just say single ?
Does BLS check as well - my spouse is on open spouse work permit in Canada.
Will it create any problem with PR process / PCC ?

If we mention as Married , cops ask about Marriage when they go for inquiry so I that's why I am hesitant in mentioning as married on the BLS form

Can someone please advise on how to proceed - Really stressed- Will appreciate if someone can help based on personal experience

If your passport doesn't have your spouse name, I believe you could skip adding married and put single.

However, in your spouse case, I would advise otherwise as he/she is on Spousal OWP - it would be better to add for his/her PCC.

Thanks .

Any idea if I put in single and will this create any possible issues with my PR application later ? Thats what I am worried for.
I believe the PCC doesn't mention marital status but I am not sure if IRCC validates more details from Embassy / BLS

PCC is for criminal check, not for marriage. They will check marital status based on your marriage certificate AFAIK. Consultant can confirm.
