She was married until the date divorce is final. So TO 08-Aug-2018.

I have a similar question. Are you sure that this answer is correct?

They ask about the divorce date in other places, sometimes on the same form. We've been assuming that the relationship refers to the actual relationship (i.e. the From is when I started dating my ex, and the To is when I left him). If it is meant to be the date of marriage/divorce, why would they ask for it twice?

In my case using the divorce date is particularly misleading because where I was living had a one year wait period before the divorce became final, legal fact. So I left him, got my ducks in a row (which took some time), filed for divorce, got scheduled for a hearing, and then a year after I filed (iirc), I became legally divorced. I'd hardly call that wait time "in a relationship".

I do not know correct answer but would be inclined to put the date when the relationship ended, not the date of the legal divorce.

BUT: in general with IRCC, if you're in doubt, attach a short letter of explanation and tell the truth and explain. Briefly.

Thanks! That seems like really good advice.

Your case sounds complicated. So up to you to put whatever is the prefer way but include a letter to explain it.
