You must answer about BOTH marriages. For CiC's purposes you are now married for a 3rd time. So you will need to mention both other times and attach a sheet explaining that you are married again to your first wife.

Just a question though. How did you immigrate to Canada. Was it via your second wife?

i agree with steph..to those who share thier support and comments i thank you all from the bottom of my heart.....muslims are allowed to marry more than 2 or 3 and i know a lot here in our community from pakistan and middle east has more than 2 wives.but was able to come to canada.my case was i did insist my husband not to include or mention the first wife because it would be too long for us to provide everything and yes the 1st marriage wasnt in government database or NSO(national statitics office).

Well....
Looks like some explaining may help in you case....
But now looks like the situation has proved you wrong when you insisted that your husband
would not include any information of her previous marriage...
It would be better to be clear on every aspect... But we are humans and we make mistakes
now the question is what will be the price of the mistake...

I hope everything can be clarified to the satisfaction of Immigration...

Good luck....

The OP is applying through NSPNP, so is still in the initial application phase. However, I agree that all of the marriage information must be declared, or he will risk being accused of misrepresentation.

I have to say that sometimes the NSO is mistaken, especially if people have similar names. I read a story on a blog online where a girl requested a CENOMAR and got back an Advisory on Marriage, but it was for her sister with a similar name.

The Embassy seems to think your Advisory on Marriage is fraudulent. It's possible to order another one online and get it sent straight from the National Statistics Office to the Embassy so that it's clearly not tampered with.

How did you get married? In Canada or the Philippines? Was his first marriage not registered in the NSO?

If your husband really was married in 1990 and didn't disclose that, you will have some explaining to do, but I don't think it's totally without hope.

For example, my partner was married in the Philippines in 2000. He was unable to get an annulment and just got his Visa as my Conjugal partner. He will arrive in Canada next week. He is still legally married in the Philippines.

All these things are possible - just the embassy isn't a huge fan of deception

Hi Steph, I would like to know how did your conjugal partner explain that he was unable to get an annulment? My partner and I are planning to apply for conjugal because I was married and there's no divorce in PH. I asked around, the lawyers are charging SO much for their annulment services and it takes time to know if it will be granted or not. I will really appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

Dear xxxxxx
The assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the family class is being completed. It appears that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Section 117(9) of the regulations states that no foreign national may be considered a member of the family class by virtue of their relationship to a sponsor if
(c) the foreign national is the sponsor’s spouse and
(i) the sponsor or foreign national, was, at the time of their marriage, the spouse of another person.
Subsection 40(1)(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a “foreign national is inadmissible for misrepresentation for directly or indirectly misrepresenting or withholding material facts relating to a relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of this Act”. Paragraph 40(2)(a) specifies that the foreign national continues to be inadmissible for misrepresentation for a period of two years following, in the case of a determination outside Canada, a final determination of inadmissibility under subsection (1).
It appears that you misrepresented your civil status when you submitted the following with fraudulent or altered information:
- Advisory on Marriages supposedly issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO) on July 19, 2012
The determination was reached after background checks were conducted revealing your marriage to a certain ms. xxxxxx on September 21, 1990. That marriage was not declared to this office and did not show in the Advisory on Marriages you provided. The misrepresentation could have induced errors in the administration of the Act. You could have gained status in Canada as a spouse under the Family Class when in fact you are not a spouse because your marriage to your sponsor is void.
Before a final decision is made on your application, you may submit a written explanation regarding the above concerns.
You must provide the information/documents within forty-five (45) days from the date of this letter. If we do not receive additional information, the decision will be based on the information on file, which may result in the refusal of your application.
Sincerely,

hi may i know what happened to your PR app now? thank you.

does your husband declare his first wife ever in IRCC records? How does IRCC knows about his first marriage?

IRCC typically finds any undeclared spouses / marriages during the background check. It's critical to declare all previous spouses / marriages.
