Do you have a health card?

Make sure you get the opinion from a lawyer as well since you are divorced.

Note that you must be living together in the same city if your spouse wants to sponsor you inland.

You need the legal opinion letter before you can get married. This is an early step. Follow the steps outlined on the ontario.ca website to make sure you don't miss anything. You may also need to get your divorce decree translated.

The health card was not accepted as a form of ID - all ID from outside of Canada are expired
The Divorce Decree is already in English
Is there any other options available

Birth certificates are accepted. Do you have that? They don't expire.

Note that getting married and submitting an application won't stop removal so continue to pursue the appeals.

Good luck.
