Hi There,
I need help and opinion of experts please.
I have applied my PR through AINP on a Paper Base application and got my AOR in Feb, linked my application as well on cic.
Right now I am the main applicant and my spouse is a dependent. Unfortunately, things did not work out btw us and we are having a Divorce. Since Marriage was registered in PAKISTAN, and we both hold Pakistani passports divorce laws are going to be followed of Pakistan. So far, I only sent a divorce deed notice to spouse address and to Union Council. It will take around three months of the process to get the Divorce Certificate from the Union Council to make it legally seperated.
My concern is should I tell CiC right now to remove my spouse( dependent) from my PR file or should I wait until I get the Divorce certificate from Pakistan ? If I tell right now they will ask for the legally separated document which will I get in next three months. But, If I wait to get the certificate what If I get a call for Medical of me and my spouse ? Please give some opinions.
My timeline is : PR paper based application thru AINP got AOR Feb 05, 2017 profile linked with CiC and waiting for Medical now.
Any help would be highly appreciated
Let me tell you what to do:
- Wait for all the documentation to complete because nobody will accept your divorce as a divorce unless you prove it.
- Once all the documentation is completed contact them by email (asking what steps to follow and what documentation they need). I will strongly recommend you to use email as the mode of communication if you have this option available because at least you will have a proof that you have contacted them for a specific reason on a specific date.
- Save the email in your records.
- If they ask for copies of the divorce documents, send them notarized photo copy with golden seal attached on it by a notary public. It is considered highly valuable and authentic in Canada. If any document is in Urdu then dont forget to include notarized copy of the translation.
- After sending all the documents, send them an email once again requesting to acknowledge the receipt of the documents. Although, they are not suppose to acknowledge but if you will send an email, most likely they will respond. Allow a month or so to send the email to acknowledge the receipt.
- I am pretty much sure that you will not get a medical call so early but if you get just in case then reply to the email in which they send you the medical request informing them of the situation and they will make the necessary changes so nothing to worry about.
