Married, Divorced, Back Together, Applying for PR

[Flipflop]

Welcome to this whirlwind of a question:

My (ex)wife and I got married and lived together in the States. She (American) and I (Canadian PR) divorced and I moved back to Canada. Later we reconciled our differences and we want to get her immigrated to Canada.

When filling out paperwork, should my marital status be Divorced, despite the fact that we have lived together for over a year prior to this application, or should it be Common-Law? Should we attach our marriage and divorce paperwork to the application or should we not let CIC know that this even happened?

Help!

Yours,
Flipflop

Your marital status will be COMMON-LAW as that is what makes you eligible to apply.

You should absolutely attach the paperwork along with a letter of explanation. Be very up front about the situation.

If you lived together continuously for a year after you and her have reconciled, then I think you are common-law.

Do not leave out any information. Be honest and let CIC know all. Explain the journey of your relationship with her (now your common-law spouse) and hope for the best.
