Hlo Sir/Mam. I was married in this year March 2018 and filed my study visa in November but at the time of filing i didn't have proper documents of my marriage so I showed my marital status single in all visa documents .when my visa was in processing I registered my marriage and got marriage certificate before my visa. So should I change my single status to marital in canada embassy because further i'm willing to call my spouse here and i'm in need of his help.

So just to clarify you misrepresented your status as single when you applied for your study permit in November when in fact you had been married since March 2018 ?

Yes but for registering my marriage we had to wait for 5 or 6 months and we did registration in November after applying for visa and got register before i got my visa.

No worries . Is marriage registration happened after filing study visa . You will be ok , because you officially got married on when you registered court marriage . You dont have to tell them what was happened.

1, You are still married, even though separated. So unless you divorce him Canada, your status remains married.

You're still married at this time. You won't be able to chance your status until your divorce is finalized.

So once I receive the divorce document..
Then I can change it
Right?
Once the divorce is finalized through the Indian courts and you receive the divorce documents showing that the divorce has been finalized, then you can change it.
