Question Regarding My PR Application about Marital Status

[jaffaral]

why did u think it's easier to decline my ITA and modify my EE profile to "legally separated" and then wait for another ITA when I can just hit the modify family info button to modify my family info from married to legally separated and then offer them the explanation for the differences between pre ita and post ita IF, they ask?

That’s what I said u shud have explainaton ready be it pre or post eAPR. If u explain in LOE and they don’t come back asking u to explain y post and pre ita profiles r different then u have to explain in even more detail. I never said it’s easier to decline ita and make new profile. If u can justify with proper proof and explanation about the separation then u don’t even need to decline. The reason y I asked u to make a new one is to save yourself from hassle of providing explanation because u mentioned that separation case is in process and u don’t have a proof yet

It's not just that you won't petition her (the terminology in Canada is "sponsor") but that if not accepted as divorced/separated, she would also be assessed for medical/criminal/security inadmissibility. That would obviously be an issue for you. If she's inadmissible, so are you.

we separated, long time ago, so it would be fine
