The marriage hasn't been over. They have not been legally separated or divorced. Sneaky in the sense that she is a citizen from a visa exempt country while he was not. He has hidden the entire matter that he has been on waiting for the past two years after his medical exams for Canadian PR from my sister and the family before the wedding and only disclosed it after he contacted CIC and CIC asked to submit proof of marriage and her details. Also even though my sister has been provided a dependent PR visa and COPR the husband never provided her the document and just went out of touch but hasn't even divorced or filed for it. That is why she is thinking that the whole thing was quite sneaky since so many things were not disclosed to her and the fact that COPR document was never prpvided. How can my sister know that he hasn't cancelled her COPR? Is it possible to prove everything to the immigration? My sister helped him in writing the spouse questionnaire and has the entire file which she made while helping him for application purposes.
He left her 6 months ago, cut contact and moved to a different country. Safe to say that the marriage is over.

Short answer to this question is ABSOLUTELY YES, you can do this. How do I know? I was in the EXACT same situation as you.

BTW, my wife is a US citizen, and I'm halfway through my FSW process after 17 years of marriage to my wife. Although we separated on friendly terms (we may stay married for a long time, since her parents are strict Catholics and do not believe in divorce), she is not willing in any way shape and form to cooperate with me for anything such as medicals, PCC etc, and she has zero intentions of leaving the United States for obvious reasons.

Cherishlady's answer is pretty much correct. My attorney helped me draft a DECLARATION which will need to be NOTARIZED, stating that I will NEVER in the future sponsor my wife and I acknowledge that, and that I would like her to be excluded from being examined for immigration purposes.

See my timeline. I got my PER, finished medicals, in the process of sending them the PCCs now. No issues or no problems whatsoever. Keep in mind however, that you will need to include her details in the generic application (just her name, date and place of marriage, date of separation). No other details are needed if you don't know them.

Can u plz share the copy of affidivate

Hi, I just asked this question to a VO and the answer is YES.

You have to declare all your relatives like spouse, children, etc. and you decide if they will join you or not to Canada, however they Demand that ALL family members have to go through medicals and police check no matter if they accompany you or not. This is because the government believe that may be one day you will sponsor them.

During a webinar I went to (not official info) a person asked the same stating that she wanted to go without her spouse and her spouse was not willing to help her with the medicals, this consultant told her that there is a way to work around if it is not possible for you to get the medicals and police check by spouse, there exists a declaration from you stating that you will NEVER sponsor your relatives ever and then you may go to Canada by yourself and no need for spouse to go through medical, to do this it is not easy I suggest you to consult a regulated immigration consultant about this work around or try to get the divorce papers, sometimes it is not easy but it will help a lot for the immigration process. Good luck.
How can i get a declaration certificate that i,ll never sponsor my spouse?
