Hi,
Me and my Common Law partner lived for several years together and I got My PR Card. I have been seperated from my Common Law partner for half a year now - l moved back to germany. Now i looks like we are getting back together :)
My Question:
I never changes my status - single or seperated with my PR Card / CIC account or anything else. Not sure if I suppose too?
Is my Permanent residence card still okay or did I loose my Common Law / Permanet Residence Card status? Do I have to apply again and send proof of relationship?

Thank you so much,
Emma
 
You are still a PR and your card is still valid, as long as the expiry date has not passed, obviously. There was no need to inform IRCC of your separation as it no longer matters since Condition 51 was repealed several years ago.

Condition 51 required the sponsored person to continue to live with their sponsor for two years, else risk their status being revoked.

All correct, but for OP's benefit: even if the card has expired, PR status does not and still a PR.

[Leaving the discussion about what to do if PR card expired for now]
