PR(Primary applicant) living in USA, Gettin a Divorce

[racikf]

I am a Canadian PR, living in USA on an employment VISA-L1A and my wife and son is on L2-A.
now my wife and I are going through some differences , where I am looking to get a divorce.

will my wife and kid loose their PR status in Canada if I get a divorce?

AND what happens if I decide not to go back to canada ? can my wife and son return to canada and retain their PR status and eventually get the Canadian Citizenship? and I am the primary applicant.

and if I get a divorce in US, is it valid in Canada. and can both of us live seperately even if I decide to return back to Canada. while taking care of the child support and alimony.

please advise.

If you have all landed as PR, there is no primary applicant any more so they can return to Canada without you and meet the residency obligation, keep their PR and apply for citizenship. They are not affected if you lose your PR if you don't return.

A divorce from the US should be valid in Canada as well.
