How to define correct "marrital status" and what documents need to submit foe canadian spouse

[deep143]

Dear experts,
Need urgent advise from you all. I got married (in Panjab, India) couple of year back and after marriage lived with my wife for one month only. After that she returned to Canada and things started getting wrong between us. She is an canadian citizen and she first sponsered me under spouse sponsership visa and then withdrew that application. It's been 2 years now and we haven't lived together or met in person. I haven't talked to her for more than a year. We haven't applied for divorce.

Now, as I have applied for express entry and with CRS of 480 i will surely recieve ITA in next draw, there are various options under marrital status - married, divorced/separated, legally separated, annulled marriage.

my question is -

What option should I select under marrital status? If i select "married", i might have to submit her documents and information which I would surely not get from her.

What does "separated" and "legally separated" means and what's the difference between both?? What conditions and documents should one have to fulfill to be called "separated" or "legally separated".

Please advice on this. Thanks in advance!

I believe that your current status is simply "separated".

Thanks. Appreciate your effort.
But it doesn't explain about documentation and process one need to follow while applying for canada immigration.

Hi,
I have submitted my application on 26th may 2018 mentioned my marrital status as "married". I could provide old passsport for my canadian citizen spouse and not the current passport. I have added a LOE with my application about this and mentioned that I can't provide current passport as we aren't in touch anymore.
I have passed medical on 6th June and at IP1 since then. I called IRCC call centre recently and they said i have met eligibility and background checks are yet to start.

Should i feel safe that they have accepted my LOE and will not ask for any additional documents now?

Please help! Thanks in advance!
