Things have changed now. I forget the date it changed but its automatic now. She no longer has to apply. CPP splitting with ex starts when she turns 65 and of course you would need to be 65 as well. They will send a letter out quite a ways ahead of the time. All you can do is contest date married or lived together re:start and stop dates.
I just recently went through all this with a friend and have read the communications from Gov't. to him. He was 69 at the time she turned 65 so he got the full amount for quite a few years till she turned 65.
