Hi,
My husband/ sponsor was a former Filipino Citizen and now a naturalized Canadian citizen by the time that he sponsored me. I was and still am a Filipino Citizen when I filed for divorce from my first marriage here in Canada and got married eventually to my sponsor- also in Canada. What I'm trying to point out is that as long as the divorce is recognized from where you obtained it from and has been finalized before you entered a new marriage, then it will be recognized by IRCC. When we applied, I submitted divorce and marriage cert and later on got requested for AOM. By the time that I had to attend CFO, one of the requirements is registration of marriage in the Phils, which obviously I was not aware of, so I just explained that as soon as I land in Canada, that's the only time that I can get it registered at the Philippine Consulate.
