Hello,
I have applied PR (Outland) through common-law sponsorship last month. ( I am currently on PGWP visa and my common-law partner is a Canadian citizen).
Until this year, we've filed the tax return as single status and we didn't know that we had to update the marital status to common-law.
I wonder if that would make any problem for my PR application as it says "Single" on Option-C printout of my common-law partner.
On CRA website, it says..
If your marital status changes you must notify the CRA by the end of the month following the month in which your status changed. For example, if your marital status changed in August 2012, you must notify the CRA by no later than September 30, 2012.
I wonder if it would be ok to change the marital status now because the date we entered into a common-law relationship was 2014 December. I am worried CRA would question why we are changing a marital status too late.
Or should I wait until 2016 and file the tax return as a common-law status?
