Marital status change after Landing in Canada. Need advise!!

[papgust]

Dear friends,

I applied for FSW visa in 2013 and very recently travelled to Canada for 10-day vacation to complete my landing in Canada (with the marital status of "Legally Separated") and returned back to my home country. I am waiting for my PR card.

Now, there are couple of developments after returning back:
1. I will be getting divorce decree soon (even before i get my PR card at hand). This means my marital status will change to "Divorced". Do i have any obligation to inform the immigration about this? If yes, how can i inform them?

2. Currently, I only have the landed COPR document. And I hope this will be my travel document until i receive PR card. I might get an opportunity to travel within my company to Canada using this visa. By then, I will have received divorce decree from the court but not my PR card. However, my landed COPR will still be showing as "Legally separated". Can I still travel with this COPR? Or do i need to get a new one by approaching the immigration?

Need expert advice on this. Really appreciate if you could answer me on these questions.

Thank you.

1) As you are now a PR, you don't need to inform CIC of marital status changes.
2) The COPR is not a travel document and you will need to apply for a Travel Document from your local Canadian Visa Office/CHC/Embassy

Hi zardoz,

Thanks a lot for providing the info.

How long this would normally take to apply for Travel document and get one in hand?
