2. THE RELATIONSHIP WITH MY WIFE GOT STRAINED AND THINGS GOT WORSE, IN JULY 09, WE HAD DECIDED WE HAD ENOUGH AND DIVORCED. MY WIFE REQUESTED THAT CHILDREN STAY WITH HER, I CONSENTED.

3. IN OCTOBER, 09 I MOVED BACK TO CANADA, AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF SETTLING DOWN. I HAVE GOTTEN FRENDLY WITH A GIRL BACK HOME IN MALAYSIA, WHO IS DIVORCED WITH A SON (6 YEARS). IF THINGS GO WELL, I PLAN TO GET A MOVE ON WITH THE RELATIONSHIP AND MARRY THIS PERSON SOMETIME IN APRIL NEXT YEAR (2010)

First of all, sorry for the hardship encountered in the family and surroundings.


1. CAN I SPONSOR MY WIFE-TO-BE ? WITH HER SON ? WILL CIC OBJECT ?
Yes you can. But you have to clear yourself first from the current marriage. You have to get the divorce done before you get officially married to the new spouse. be honest and straightforward. Any misrepresentation in immigration process will hunt you forever.

2. CAN MY CHILDREN FROM MY FIRST MARRIAGE COME TO CANADA ? TO VISIT ME OR STAY ON ? WILL I HAVE TO EARN A CERTAIN AMOUNT FOR THIS?
You children arrived to Canada last year, according to your story above. So they landed in Canada and they are PRs of Canada right now. They have every right to come and stay in Canada. You do not need to meet certain income. However, the custody issue has to be resolved. If they stay out of Canada for long period, they may loose their PR status. But you can sponsor them again if circumstances allow.

3. CAN MY EX-WIFE COME TO CANADA ?
She can. Same as the above answer regarding your children.

You don't say how you originally immigrated, but it sounds as though it was through Independent Immigration. So my answers are assuming that.

2. THE RELATIONSHIP WITH MY WIFE GOT STRAINED AND THINGS GOT WORSE, IN JULY 09, WE HAD DECIDED WE HAD ENOUGH AND DIVORCED. MY WIFE REQUESTED THAT CHILDREN STAY WITH HER, I CONSENTED.

As long as you did not sponsor your ex-wife to Canada - in other words, you would have had to have already been a PR of Canada and then married your ex and sponsored her and the children - you can sponsor a new wife and her dependent son. CIC will not object.

2. CAN MY CHILDREN FROM MY FIRST MARRIAGE COME TO CANADA ? TO VISIT ME OR STAY ON ? WILL I HAVE TO EARN A CERTAIN AMOUNT FOR THIS?

Your children need to reside in Canada for two years of every five year period in order to maintain their permanent resident status. If they come to Canada before 3 years from the date of their initial landing and they stay for at least 2 years, they maintain PR and are okay to live in Canada.

3. CAN MY EX-WIFE COME TO CANADA ?

Same as above. Your ex-wife earned her PR already, but she must meet the requirements to keep it. If she does, she can be in Canada whether you re-marry and sponsor a new wife or not.

My marriage to my first wife was dissolved. And I have not yet married again. My questions are, in case I decide to marry again.
Further, would you advise, if I have to get my Divorce Certificate (from Malaysia)-has to be ratified or submitted to CIC in Canada or the Visa Issuing Office, which is Singapore in my case.
Thanks a Bundle !!!!

I am not sure if I understood your question rightly. At this stage of your current position, you do not need to inform CIC or anyone else of your family life or divorce. Your ex wife is a PR of Canada right now (because she landed with you). She has the right to live in Canada as you do. She can even get re-married and can sponsor her new spouse to come to Canada.
Once you get married again you can start the process of sponsorship of your new spouse. In the documentation and check list,, you will have to submit your divorce certificate of course.

If you decide to marry again (after divorce) in Ontario:

Marriage - Getting Remarried in Ontario after a Divorce

If you were divorced in Canada, you must bring the original or court-certified copy of the final decree, final judgment or certificate of divorce to your local municipal office when you are purchasing the marriage licence. Contact your local Ontario Municipal Office for further information.

If you were divorced outside of Canada, you must obtain authorization from the Ministry of Government Services before you can purchase a marriage licence. For authorization, send the following documents to:

The Office of the Registrar General
Marriage Office
P.O. Box 4600
189 Red River Rd.
Thunder Bay, ON P7B 6L8

1. A completed Marriage Licence Application (PDF - 27K) Text Version.
2. A Statement of Sole Responsibility for each divorce signed by both parties of this marriage.
3. An original or court-certified copy (certified by the proper court officer in the jurisdiction the divorce or annulment was granted) of the divorce decree or annulment. If the decree is in a language other than English or French, include a translated copy together with an affidavit sworn by a certified translator.
4. A legal opinion from an Ontario lawyer, addressed to both applicants to the marriage, giving reasons why the divorce or annulment should be recognized in the Province of Ontario.
