Hi, I need help. I applied under spousal sponsorship for my wife. I completed my 5 years spousal sponsorship ban. However I was married to my ex wife in India and obtained divorce in Canada (Both had Canada PR at that time and physically present in Canada). I got married to my current wife in India and issued new marriage certificate. For spousal sponsorship of my new wife, Regarding divorce documents, I provided divorce certificate which was issued in Canada. I provided no other document regarding divorce. My question is - Will my file be rejected or will I be required to provide Divorce doc from India (I do not have any).
Appreciate your response!

Document from Canada is fine.
Also I’m still Canada PR. My first and second marriage certificate is from India. But the first divorce cert is from Canada. For second spousal sponsorship, do IRCC need divorce from India too ? Will my PR status make any difference for divorce doc requirements. I read somewhere that person holding canada citizenship would not require Indian divorce. Not sure how true is this.
