Thanks to all of you.....

Ms HONEYGIRL, is it ok to file my PR application and do the legal action about my marriage after? will the immigration ask about any certification on my marriage if i said that I am separated? thank you so much for guiding me....

Job_seeker....thanks for answering that question for me...I really don't have any idea about that, cos I've never do the preparation for that wedding, just my mother and him, he's not even my boyfriend that time.....

In the Phils, sometimes the bigamist can get away with it by getting married in a province away from where the first marriage is solemnized or performed. And even if the marriage is null and void from the beginning, it still needs court proceedings, and a lot of money, to void the marriage.
that is very true.... you need lots of money just to get your marriage annulled because some people working in court will take advantage and will try to get big amount of money from you especially if you do not know the procedures...

we have the same timeline and situation.... why it was transferred to Edmonton? what do they mean about that?

but in my case i submitted a proof about the broke down of our marriage along with my application for OWP and PR.. i have a solo-parent ID since 2006 issued by DSWD in the Philippines... and my divorce is currently on going..

did you call CIC and asked them why your case was transferred to Edmonton? please give us an update... thank you..

there are two kinds wherein you can apply for divorce... joint application and sole application... in sole application you don't need your husband to sign for the divorce.... you will just have to inform him that you are filing a divorce and if he doesn't respond after 30 days notice... the judge now will now make the final decision about the divorce.... that's what a lawyer told me...
