Good day,
I hope everyone is doing well.
I believe that I am in the final stages of my PR application. This afternoon I received an email from IRCC with the subject heading: IRCC Permanent Residence Confirmation Portal.
There is an attachment to the email instructing me to provide information. They are also asking if there have been any changes in my living situation since applying for Permanent residency.
This is a quote from the email:
"
Changes to your situation:
You must inform us immediately by replying to this email of any of these changes:
- You get married, divorced, enter a common-law union, or become separated from your
spouse.
In the event of the death of
- the sponsor;
- the principal applicant; or
- any accompanying family member.
- You, or any of your family members, give birth to or adopt a child.
-You, or any of your family members, are charged or convicted of a criminal offense.
-You, or any of your family members, are no longer interested in becoming permanent
residents of Canada.
"
There is only one change that has happened. I have been living with my girlfriend of five years for the past year. Both of our names are on the apartment lease and we have been living together since September 2022. So technically we are now officially in a common law union.
When I submitted my PR application in October 2022 we had only been living together for a month so I am not sure if I would have listed her as a common law partner. I don't think I would have.
Since we are now officially in a common law union should I tell IRCC that I am in a common law union? I am afraid that this might hold up the processing of my PR application and that it might even delay it a bit.
Does anyone have experience with this issue?
Regards,
