Do I need to notify CIC of becoming Common-Law?

I am a temporary resident, currently on implied status (WP extension pending).

I have just become common law with my Canadian boyfriend, in September. In July, when I was applying for the extension of my Work Permit we were not yet common law, so I did not put that in my marital status.

We will be applying for Permanent Residency for me, but only in a few months and at the minute we do not have any other applications. I am still waiting for the WP application results.

My question is, do I need to notify CIC about the fact that I have now become common law, or do I only need to do that when we will be applying for PR?

And if I need to do it now, how do I do it?

Can I simply call them?
