Hi! I badly need advise regarding my Marital status.
When I first entered here in Canada as TFW in 2012, I declared as Single. I had a boyfriend in 2009, we begot 1 daughter born in 2010, I left my home country (Philippines) and worked abroad (Taiwan) we did not live together at all. Technically, I am SINGLE. When I got an opportunity here in Canada, I applied as SINGLE. Fast forward, in 2013,2014,2015 when I applied work permit renewals, I still declared SINGLE. We had an on and off long distance relationship. On the CRA side, I declared COMMONLAW (2013,2014,2015) thinking having a daughter will suffice as being in COMMONLAW.
But in Feb 2016, I officially ended my relationship with him. Half a year after, I dated a new guy, we lived together and then he decided to sponsor me thru Commonlaw Sponsorship a year after.
In 2017, I filled up all the documents for Commonlaw Sponsorship.However, one of the questions there was previous relationship. I declared 2009-Feb 2016 as COMMONLAW with my ex boyfriend even if we did not live together before AT ALL. Which is totally contradicting from my original Single status upon entry. I thought on and off long distance relationship should be declared as commonlaw. (SMH)
By the way, I got my PR in 2018 Thru CommonLaw Sponsorship. Had no problems with my application.It went smooth. We are MARRIED also last Sep 2020.
Now, my question is, I am about to apply for Canadian Citizenship, will there be a problem regarding my SINGLE status when I landed in Canada and when I declared my previous COMMONLAW partner later during my PR application? Will there be any conlfict? How come IRCC approved my PR then?
Hoping to get some answers from you. Thank you so much.
