Divorced

[Rukhan]

hi,
I used to be married and we have a son.
Now i am divorced.
The question is:
Do i still require proof of funds for 3 people or for myself only in order to be able to apply to express entry.

Thanks.

Your ex isn't a dependent anymore.

Whether your son is a dependent or not depends whether you still have legal parental rights towards the child or not.

You don't need proof of funds for 3 people. Only for yourself and accompanying members (in case your son is accompanying you)..

This isn't true.

The principal applicant is still required to show proof of funds for non-accompanying members as long as they're dependents, so a married applicant with a non-accompanying spouse and child would have to show funds for 3 people.

Wow ! Noted !
I didn't know that or say my understanding was not correct at all. Thanks for the correction !!

Hello,
Posting this on behalf of a friend (India)..

She got married and they got separated in a short time (matter of months), no legal divorce yet, no kids.
Is she eligible to apply for FSW/EE?
What additional documentation is needed for her to submit? Is the marriage certificate and the divorce certificate necessary? Getting divorced is mandatory or is it okay to get an affidavit kind of from the lawyer for separation?
POF should be as equal as the single applicant? And can she get married again "if" possible, in Canada?

Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

few questions had she registered her marriage ? if she had then divorce decree is compulsory, but if she hasn't then basically she is not married in the eye of canadian law, (the best i know) and she can start her process as a unmarried candidate, and yes she can get married again in Canada

Thank you @raj2017.
No she hasn't registered it. When i asked she said it isn't mandatory in india now? i don't know.
But, good to hear. So, she has no need to even get the legal separation as such?

dont get me wrong she has to get legal divorce in india, however, all i am saying is she doesn't need to do that for putting up her file and getting PR, as per indian law for Hindu Saptapadi is considered as a legal marriage however this practise is unknown to western countries. since her marriage wasn't registered there may be no name of her husband on any legal documents like passport, bank statement and other government id papers and hence she is good to go

To make it clear for the question in the post, you will need to show funds for 2 people, you and your son. I got divorced and my son is not accompanying, yet cic still listed him as a dependent in my application even though he lives with his mother in another country. I also had to get her to do his medical after a long struggle.
Also, you will need to show one of 2 things, either a divorce certificate, or a legal separation agreement. Separation without 1 of those 2 things will lead to cic requesting your ex to do her medials and police certificates same as you, and you will need to show funds for 3 people.
Good luck.
