common-law partner sponsorship concern

[wsongco]

Yes, I want to include all my additional education history in another college but in my previous application I didn't include them cause I was in a hurry to pass the application in the embassy to come here and work and to get another transcript from that school takes sometime so I omitted them in the application. My fear is if I do that now in applying for PR maybe I will be charged of misrepresentation. What do you think?

in my opinion....the best options is to stick to what you declare in your previous application. less background check???

No, the BEST option is to tell the complete truth. PR applications receive greater scrutiny AND this is an opportunity for the OP to correct everything that was wrong with the previous application. If CIC finds out on their own, the OP is risking misrepresentation which would be stupid because it is NOT that big of a deal to correct it.

If she applies common-law then she does not have to worry about the Canadian divorce being valid in the Philippines. CIC will certainly accept her as a common-law spouse with a Canadian divorce and having lived with the Canadian sponsor for 17 months.
