Hello,

Thank you for your email correspondence to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s Immigration Representatives

mailbox. We appreciate your patience.

Question:

I would like to inquire about an assumption scenario where the principal applicant, A, is applying for PR under the CEC stream

and is planning to marry B soon. Two years ago, A was in a common-law relationship with C and had supported C’s SOWP at

that time.

Do we need to provide any legal document to confirm that A and C’s common-law relationship ended? Or sit sufficient to

simply indicate the relationship details in the application forms, specifying the start and end dates (YYYYMMDD)?

Would a separation agreement or any other supporting document be required to verify the end of the common-law

relationship, or is this not necessary for Express Entry?

Answer:

Please be advised that we are not able to answer case-specitic enquiries or intervene on a decision made by a delegated

officer, as we must adhere to appropriate procedures. Case-specific enquiries should be routed via the IRCC Web form.

Please make sure to follow the instructions and provide all required relationship details when you submit a profile or make

an application and include Statutory Declaration of Severance of a Common-Law Union (IMM 5519) form. You may include

additional evidence with your submission. An officer may also ask you for additional evidence upon their discretion.

Please be advised that the assessment of an application is conducted on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the

specific circumstances and the supporting documentation available to the officer. Its the applicant's responsibility to

provide sufficient documentation to demonstrate that they meet the requirements.

We trust that this information will be of assistance to you.

Sincerely,
