Nobody is "forcing" you to misrepresent yourself. Only YOU can decide whether to be honest.Tammy91 said:
Um..... Tell the truth? If the OP is being judged it's because she asked for help to lie to CIC. As a Canadian born citizen I take offense to would be immigrants lying their way into the country.gailmargolis said:
I will share the truth with CIC. I havent really asked for help to lie. I just wanted to understand how I can hide about it from my family because if they get to know about it I would never be able to marry my man. I know many of you wont understand my situation. So, its really okay if I am being judged.DollyM said:
Nothing wrong in marrying a divorced man. Your family does not need to know the past of your man but CIC needs to know. If your family gets to know, there will be nothing but judgment. If CIC gets to know, its for compliance. There are cases more complicated that yours that CIC has to deal with.Tammy91 said:
No - you can't. You have to mention his previous marriage. Yes - the previous marriage will most likely be discovered during background checks. If you fail to mention his marriage and it's discovered, your application will be refused for misrepresentation and you'll be banned from Canada for 5 years. Don't lie in your application.Tammy91 said:Hello Everyone! I am an Indian and new to this forum and expecting some guidance regarding immigration to Canada. My application is at BG check right now and I am getting married soon. I plan to update CIC as soon as I get married. However, the problem is that my to be husband is divorced in abroad and we cannot share this with my family in India. Can we both get married without mentioning his previous marriage at the court? Will CIC be able to find out about his first marriage during BG check? Please guide.
I would do the right thing. Tell the truth to both - my parents as well as CIC. Frankly speaking I am appalled and disgusted that we are even discussing this!! Its a shame. Maybe you and I see things differently.gailmargolis said:
Dear, you asked about lying and dishonesty, I think you do not understand or realize how sensitive a topic it is in US/CANADA and other western societies and if you intend to migrate to Canada you have to respect the culture and norms there. Lying and dishonesty are absolutely disgusting and detestable. And as I said - there can never ever be any justification or excuse for even thinking about being dishonest. The day we Indians understand this the county will be at par with western countries, but alas , dishonesty , lie , corruption, cheating have become like a way of life in India and some of the comments here (including yours) are sad representations of the state of affairs. What pains me moro if that people come to US, Canada and bring these corrupted ways with them and undermine all the good things about the western society. It disgusts me to say the least. I just wish you realize your mistake because your comments prove that you still do not understand what honesty means. I am surprised that you are justifying yourself and mocking those who are saying the right thing. God bless you dear.Tammy91 said:I am really glad that you can empathise. It is much easier to pass comments without stepping into the other person's shoe.
