Probably only in as much as Canada would have to recognise a foreign divorce as being valid in the country that it was enacted. In your case, the visa officer seems to be saying that your divorce was not completed according to YOUR original country's laws before you "remarried". They appear to be saying that because of this, you are now not legally married as you were not free to marry at the time that you did so. The laws being applied are your country's laws, not Canada's.

hi there may I know your nationality? laws differ according to countries. but if your country recognizes divorce and the proceedings of your divorce in your country is valid then i believe it would be valid there as such.

deplix - how many applications for PR did you have until now? I see from your posts that you applied through the Skilled Worker, then Provincial Nomination Program and now you say you want to appeal a Family Class application.

Also from what you have written in the last years I understand you appealed the refusal under Family Class almost 2 years ago.

I applied my spousal appeal in vancouver office in december anybody know how long vancouver office take to deal appeal cases
please share with me i am so upset how long it will take me
thanx
Also it seems the refusal you now speak of happened somewhere in 2011, so you've known about the lack of validity of the marriage for 2 years. Why didn't you remarry until now?
