please I need clarifications I earlier asked a question but i didn't get a cleat answer .

when someone fills legally separated,CIC asks the next question as HAS XXXXXXXX BEEN IN A PREVIOUS MARRIAGE OR COMMON LAW RELATIONSHIP ?

what would the appropriate answer be YES or NO.
Bear in mind that a person who is legally separated is still married.please I would really appreciate an in depth input.

you can only be in a previous marriage if you're divorced. is that what you mean by legally separated? OR still married but not living together.

I am filling ITA form and under marital status clicked legally separated . The next question is :Has xxx been in a previous marriage or common law relationship?.

The marriage for which xxxx is legally separated

As per CIC,
Legally Separated: This means that you are married, but no longer living with your spouse.
So, you are still technically married, hence, no previous marriage in your case. You will enter the details for your spouse when you choose Legally Separated anyway, so there is no point of choosing Yes you were previously married.
when you click legally separated,it doesn't show you the option to input spouse details. I filled legally separated and didn't get questions about spouse details.

To this point. Indeed you will be asked how many family members does an applicant have(which should included separated spouse) and to list out family members not listed in the application.

@hamiltondreamer, how did it go with your application? How did you answer to the previous marriage question and did you put your separated spouse on your immediate family members?

I have exactly the same situation with you in these points.

Thank you.
