I have submitted documents for permanent residence as single, received AOR in May this year, I have already passed the medical exam and had my biometrics collected.
I was single at the moment of document submission because I had been living with my girlfriend for less than 1 year.
Last August I moved in with my girlfriend, so this year in August we can call ourselves common-law partners

We will be able to provide some of these documents as proof and evidence of cohabitation

Also, we will be able to provide Form IMM 5409, The Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union signed in the Canadian embassy.
Since I have already submitted the documents as single, can or should I add my common-law partner to my application?
As far as I know I have to inform IRCC about the changes in my family composition. However, in my case, I think I might look suspicious: I have applied as single and now would like to add my partner. But this is just true and I will provide all the proof.
I do not want to waste my application, do not want to be refused due to misrepresentation, or because I did something wrong during the process.
