Previous Common Law partner

[jensaus]

Is it an absolute must to mention a previous common law partner? We had one rental lease we signed together and bought a block of land together (which has been sold).

I would rather not if possible

Form IMM 5406, Additional Family Information, requires you to either identify your current spouse, or certify that you have no current or former spouse or common-law partner. So if you do not have a current spouse, YES, you must identify your former common-law partner.

After taking a look at this form, you'll probably wonder where or how, since section A appears to be for current spouses/partners, not former, but then you can't sign the declaration either. In my case, I wrote in "see attached explanation" instead of signing the declaration, and then put my ex-spouse's information on a separate sheet and wrote (and signed) a statement that I did not currently have a spouse...

I am applying along with my common law partner and our baby son ( both dependants). We are due to get married in October this year which I will not in a cover letter.

I only classified my last partner as a 'boyfriend' rather than a common law partner so I'm not going to mention him.

Doesn't matter how you classified him, if you lived together for a year, you were common/law.

Sorry for stupid question but why do CIC need to know my previous relationship that I had in my 20s?

Too many examples of previous c/law relationships that break-up, one partner finds another C/law relationship, is sponsored, and miraculously decides to resume the previous c/law relationship and then sponsors him or her.
