Hi! I badly need advise regarding my Marital status.
When I first entered here in Canada as TFW in 2012, I declared as Single. I had a boyfriend in 2009, we begot 1 daughter born in 2010, I left my home country (Philippines) and worked abroad (Taiwan) we did not live together at all. When I got an opportunity here in Canada, I applied as SINGLE. Fast forward, in 2013,2014,2015 when I applied work permit renewals, I still declared SINGLE. We had an on and off relationship. On the CRA side, I declared COMMONLAW (2013,2014,2015) I had a proof that we had a daughter but in a long distance relationship though we are not married.
But in Feb 2016, I officially ended my relationship with him. Half a year after, I met a new guy, we lived together for 1 year, then he decided to sponsor me thru Commonlaw Sponsorship a year after.
In 2017, I filled up all the documents for Commonlaw Sponsorship. However, one of the questions there was previous relationship. I declared May 2009-Feb 2016 as COMMONLAW with my ex boyfriend even if we did not live together before AT ALL. Which is totally different from my original Single status upon entry. I thought having a daughter and on and off relationship is considered commonlaw.
I got my PR in 2018 Thru CommonLaw Sponsorship. Had no problems with my application. We are MARRIED also last Sep 2020.
Now, my question is, I am about to apply for Canadian Citizenship, will there be a problem regarding my SINGLE status when I landed in Canada and when I put previous COMMONLAW later during my PR application?
Hoping to get some answers from you. Thank you so much.
