Seniors, or anyone with similar experience, need your urgent help.

I had applied for EE FSW-O with Marital status as Separated as divorce proceedings are still going on in the Indian courts for quite some time. The date of final decision cannot be predicted.

1. CIC requested for additional documents on Aug 9 requiring Divorce Decree. As advised by my consultant, in the absence of the final divorce decree, I uploaded latest court orders + letters from advocate (notarized) providing updates on the process and stating that once the case is proved, divorce decree is expected. Also, that the spouse and me are currently not co-habiting.

Also stated that timeframe / duration of the final decision depends on prevailing judicial system.

2. Now on Aug 25, CIC has again sent a letter requesting final divorce certificate and put my profile on hold for 60 days.
This is really confusing and worrying now as how can I provide the decree now + given that I have not mentioned that I am divorced, so why the insistence to get the decree. What should be my course of action now??

Also surprisingly, I had spoken to a CIC agent on 29 Aug (without being aware of the letter) who said security and eligibility are done and passed. Just now wait for final mail instructions as application has been passed.


Please help. @dr feras @legalfalcon

Please suggest as cic did ask me the same divorce certicate while my divorce is in process. It’s been more than one month I have submitted the docs. Kindly suggest what should be the next step for me.

Thanks

My answer would be same as what legalfalcon already said. As you know, there is no (legal) separation in Canada, but as far as CIC is concerned, they should exclude ex spouse from your application in 2 circumstances, 1 being divorced, 2 having a legal separation agreement if such thing exists in your country.
The main reason behind this, is them wanting to make sure that you are not creating a loophole to overcome what might have been a case of medical inadmissibility in terms of excessive demand.
If you can not provide proof of either of those 2 cases, its all down to cic officer discretion based on each case. Now what I would suggest is not to upload anything during those 60 days just in case you were able to finalise your divorce before the given dead line. If not, then best thing to do would be to submit them again as suggested by legalfalcon.
I would imagine it might also help your case if you submit a declaration from you that you understand that by this you are knowingly dropping your ex from your pr application, and that you understand that they will be exluded from ever being sponsored by you.
Hello brother.could u get pr of canada as ur divorce case is pending in india.i have the similar situation. Please reply me .

Hi @RedDevil21, @mike2575, @lailina

I am divorced and the decree is with me. The decree has been issue by court and has a 'true copy' stamp on it issued by the Family Court in Mumbai.

I have received an ITA and need to upload divorce certificate.

What should I upload? The decree? There is no certificate as such.

Also, I am currently out of India. Someone mentioned about apostille. Would I have to go to Bombay for that? Lawyer does it?

Can you please help.

Thanks

Canada isn’t part of the Apostille Convention so no need to do it for any document as they won’t recognize it.

Hii
If divorce is happened with mutual consent and have a divorce decree, is the decree sufficient to upload or do I need to upload additional documents..
Any advice on this matter is highly appreciable.
