Common Law Declare?

[kanoon22]

I am living with my girlfriend from April 2016, however in pgwp application I and my common law declared ourselves as single as we were not aware of the concept. Now we are planning to apply for pr and we are afraid that if we declare now, it can be considered as misrepresentation that we did not declare common law on pgwp application. I will greatly appreciate your input as to what I should do.

You can't undo what's done, but if you keep hiding your common law status now that you are aware of it, to cover up a past mistake, it could lead to complications with consequences. Not declaring is not an option so 'guilty with an explanation' is the best you can do.

Hi do you have any update on this? My partner and I are in the same situation (We accidentally didn't declare our common-law status on the TRV application based on our individual PGWPs) so any advice or update would be really appreciated!
