how did this relationship end in PR portal

[CaDo]

hi, to anyone who have encountered the same, I would like to ask what option you selected in "how did this relationship end in PR portal, if its alright with you. In my pr application and i encounter this question, currently I am separated from my previous marriage - with no divorce and no annulment. So far, the only option is
- annulment,
- divorce,
- deceased and
- end of common-law relationship.

To add, I am presently in a common-law., I have declared my civil status as common law. Do I need to file divorce, if I do then can I select divorce? (but the issue is it might ask for divorce cert and divorce is not yet granted.) Thank you

In your case, since you are legally still married, you cannot select divorce or annulment unless it is finalized and you have documents. If you are separated but not legally divorced, you should indicate that clearly in your explanation letter to avoid misrepresentation. It’s best to consult with an immigration lawyer to ensure the correct option and supporting documents are provided.

You can’t select divorce unless it’s legally finalized, since the portal will expect documentation. In your case, the safest option is to choose “end of common-law relationship” for the previous relationship, because you are separated but not legally divorced or annulled.


You don’t need to file for divorce before submitting your PR application, but you should clearly explain your situation in a Letter of Explanation (LOE)—state that you’re legally separated but not divorced, and provide any supporting documents (like separation agreements, proof of living separately, etc.).


This approach shows transparency and prevents delays due to missing legal documents.

Could one upload various LOEs and documents showing that divorce proceedings are in process (or about to be started) along with supporting documents of separation like the aforementioned separation agreements and proof of living separately?

Surely the portal isn't smart enough to recognize that the PDF of a LOE is not an actual divorce decree from a court ... or is it?

That's okay - whatever works to get past the broken computer system. I also can see how the proofs of an end of a common-law relationship are similar to the proofs of being legally married but separated (in terms of proofs of separation like having drivers licenses in different addresses, etc.)

As long as the LOE is clear to the human reviewing things, this should work.

Worth noting though that a common-law relationship is not implied to exist from a marriage. While they are similar, legally they are distinct and separate things. To the point that if one were to submit as a "end of common-law relationship" without the LOE detailing that it's actually legally married but separated but the computer is missing that option, one could be accused of misrepresentation. So definitely do not forget the LOE in this case.

Also, I think it's okay to add that in addition to being legally separated that one is also in the middle of divorce proceedings, or about to file, etc, if that's applicable. Be clear that the divorce is not finalized yet, but show what progress has been made so far and what the state of things currently are.

You don’t need to file for divorce before submitting your PR application,

This approach shows transparency and prevents delays due to missing legal documents.

The main point is to show transparency by submitting the right LOEs and be upfront about the true status there. I wasn't aware of delays due to missing legal documents (provided that the LOE has properly detailed things and the correct actual proofs are submitted), are you aware of examples where this has happened?
