Hi all,

I got AOR in February, I got a document request with the following information:

"Please explain your current status with the mother of your children. This must be received at this office by...".

As a bit of background: I have 3 children with my ex who is Canadian, she recently moved to Canada which is why I'm moving too. We're obviously not together any more. We get on ok, we can do basic communication without shouting at each other or anything. But we're obviously not exactly best friends. She wrote a letter for my OINP application confirming some facts and saying that she supports my application. We went through the courts to get a court order to outline the contact arrangement once I'm in Canada. I included details of this in my application.

Any thoughts on what they might be wanting to check? I would of thought it's pretty obvious we're not together any more from my application, although I don't think I stated it explicitly. Do you think they want to check that it won't cause problems with her if I move?

Thanks

sometimes they miss the obvious., so just state your situtuation again in as little words as possible.

Did you supply them with court docs?

If you did (or in fact if you didn't) supply them again along with LOE explaining what you have just explained above.

Good luck

You need to state it explicitly.


Do you think they want to check that it won't cause problems with her if I move?

I have no idea what information you have already provided to CIC. Did you provide proof of your divorce/legal separation?

In any case, a PR applicant's (ex-) spouse is usually NOT already a Canadian citizen, and IRCC needs documentation that will either (a) allow the spouse to be sponsored in the future, or (b) sufficient proof that everyone is satisfied that the spouse can never be sponsored. And VOs can go on autopilot.

So in addition to your written explanation and the legal documentation of your marital status, it would help if your ex would provide you a copy of something proving her citizenship (e.g. copy of passport).
