Hi,
I as primary applicant and my spouse as secondary applicant and my 1 year old twins has applied for permanent residency for Canada. I got the ITA under the PNP and finally has submitted got our passport stamped. Now, as things are not getting good between me and my spouse and we have filed mutual divorce in court. So, my query is that I intimate the IRCC about this as we are getting divorced in webform . As we know , getting a webform reply is a daunting task. Also, final divorce formalities and decree will take almost 6 months. Can I do landing and inform Canadian border authorities about the situation and told them about webform raised. Does any problem persists for PR at border??please guide

See below, this is what an Principal Applicant required to do -
STEP 1: Change in Circumstances:
Should any of the following circumstances apply to you or any accompanying family member, you must
inform this office immediately:
Change in marital status, for example due to marriage, divorce, legal separation, annulment or
death of spouse;
Change in family composition, for example due to adoption or birth of a child, including a child
born to your accompanying dependent child,
Death of principal applicant, spouse, accompanying children, or death of sponsoring relative;
Change in health;
You or any of your accompanying family members being charged or convicted of a criminal
offence
Change in contact information: mailing address, e-mail address, or telephone number.
Your failure to inform us of any of these changes may result in the cancellation of your permanent
resident visa and may render you and your accompanying family members inadmissible to Canada.
Your failure to declare all of your family members, accompanying
Dear AmanSethi,
I would suggest, you should act on humanity, look at the bigger picture, there is no harm if you all become permanent resident at the first place and then get divorce. The reason why I suggested you is that later if you want to bring your one year old twins, it gonna be a daunting task, you might have to apply for their permanent residency again by sponsoring them in future. Then the mother (your present wife) of your children might not cooperate or refuse to let go the children until they are adult. And once they are adult then there is no guarantee if they listen to you or their mother more. It is in your benefit if your children comes with their mother, so that she can take care of your children. I hope you love your children.
Remember "Never make any decision when one is Angry and never promise when one is too Happy"
Ok, enough with the words of wisdom .
They have MUTUALLY filed for divorce, she’s obligated to inform the IRCC. There’s no grey area .
You’re suggesting she misrepresent her situation.
Do you have any words of wisdom in suggesting misrepresentation or lying is ok ?
What you are suggesting is called fraud. You need to inform IRCC if you are separated or divorced.
Misrepresentations or lying are NEVER OK, Mr Amansethi has just put the question today, so I can guess they night have got their passports stamped with Visa recently. I am not sure but I feel they are taking decision to get divorce in haste, not considering theur two little ones. You never know within three months they might realize their mistake and patch up.
Even here in Canada for CRA you are not considered as separated until 3 months are over. People visit here on these forums to get honest advice or information.
Thanks for your valuable sharing guys...I want to clear that I being the PA has sole custody of my children as my spouse has agreed on that and provided affidavit for the same. However, we have filled a mutual divorce petition in court for which final hearing will be done in Feb 2022 I.e. after 6 months. I already informed cic about my divorce filing. Mine and my children visa and copr is valid till August end. As I recall if ircc does not respond to my updated information, can I travel with my children alone before expiration of visa. If required, I can inform CBSA also about the divorce process. My question only is that I can travel or not after I informed them and without getting their reply.
Dear AmanSethi86,
My concern was for your two little children, It is good that you have informed the IRCC, you have done your part of your obligation. If you have already have sole custody of your children and on top of that your spouse has given an affidavit accordingly then I don’t see anything wrong.
As a Principle applicant you definitely can travel without your spouse, your spouse being an secondary applicant cannot travel without you or your first becoming Permanent Resident even if you weren’t divorcing. You should travel as soon as possible as your COPR is expiring next month. You can come, land become Permanent Resident with your children and then go back to finish your deals including your divorce etc. However it must be clearly mentioned or permitted in the affidavit provided by your spouse that you are allowed to take the children away out of the country to any foreign country or Canada. If you don’t have this then just get another affidavit declaration from your spouse as an authority given to you to travel abroad with your children.
Thanks

Thanks sir for your precious information.
I would like to highlight also that in COPR it is written married as we have headed for divorce proceeding after we received COPR and visa. Does this may create any problem while landing. Can we correct the marital status at CBSA border after landing. Please guide further to conclude
