Hi all,

The problem is the common-law partner declared himself as single during landing/applying(it was an honest mistake because of the inter-provincial moving, we were not common-law in both provinces and we didn't look up the federal law). We didn't see ourselves as in a common-law relationship so we didn't apply for the pr together. The pr partner got pr by the new public policy which is not based on CRS hence a partner will not impose the impact on eligibility. The EE applicant would like to apply for EE and declare the pr common-law partner. I am wondering if it's okay to do so?
 
If the partner already has PR, then there's absolutely no reason for the EE partner to declare a common law partner. Don't complicate your application, declare as single since it's a fresh application and your partner has PR

Unless you hope to gain points by declaring the common law partner

Thanks.
Declare or not will have no impact on CRS. But will it impose some complications on citizenship applications in the future?
 
No, it wont, citizenship is given individual consideration.

Besides you can always say in future you became partners after your PR.
