Hi,
I searched this forum and couldn't find an answer. I'm in a unique situation. Perhaps seniors can help me. @scylla @rajkamalmohanram @steaky @DelPiero07 @TanakaM

I'm divorced but my current passport still has my ex-spouse name. I got my India PCC today and it has my ex-spouse name on it. Now my question is will this PCC be considered valid? I have a dicorce certificate. Can I show that to CIC to claim that I'm divorced though my PCC shows marital status as married?

Getting a new passport will take anywhere from 15 days (complicated process with extra documentation) to 3 months. So, that could be very time consuming.

TIA for your help.

Hi,

As long as you have your divorce certificate it will be valid. That's all you need to prove that you are divorced.
