UNDECLARED MARITAL STATUS (MISREPRESENTATION)

[bambina8681]

I'm about to apply for spousal common law sponsorship but when i entered Canada I mentioned on my work permit application that I was single when in fact I was married. My spouse and I were not on talking terms and separated for almost 6 years so I just figured that it would be easier to file as “single” , all my documents as well as my passport is single too and with that I didnt declared my daughter as well as i first thought it'll be a conflict if they'll ask her birth certificate (stupid mistake ever!) Now i am in a common-law relationship in which we are filing our application before end of this year. I want to include my daughter on my application. How i will explain that i made a wrong misrepresentation on my previous application. I want to correct this mistake that I made, and hopefully there is a way as I would like to stay here in Canada with my boyfriend as we are having a baby soon and get my daughter in the future. Guys, i need you're advise. Thanks!

You should get a lawyer. Immigration takes it seriously if you misrepresent yourself. However, it is not as bad if you misrepresent yourself in a way that it would not have affected your visa being issued which it surely seems like. However, if you ever want to have a chance to sponsor your daughter, you must correct this before you apply for PR.
