Dear Forum Members,
I have a somewhat tricky case of sponsoring a spouse that i would want your feedback on.
I would start off with the background information, so as to help you people better comprehend the whole issue.
- I am a Canadian PR holder and did my landing back in the summer of 2015.
- I did my landing with my wife and my daughter after we gained immigration through the Federal Skilled Workers program.
- For the record, my wife was the principal/primary applicant for our 'Federal Skilled Worker' immigration application and i was the spouse.
- We stayed in Toronto for just a couple of months and came back to Pakistan; and are living here ever since.
- Now after coming back to Pakistan following the completion of our landing formality , we started having marital issues.
- This eventually led to us separating a couple of years back, under the assumption that if we don't find anyone else to marry the situation would stay the same and we probably would not seek divorce (divorce is a major stigma in our part of the world and our families wanted us to avoid it if we could)
- Now i am finally ready to move to Canada in a couple of months to fulfill my PR obligations to eventually become a Canadian citizen.
- Here is the major issue now, I have met someone who i would now like to get married to and off course would like to settle down with in Canada
So here are my question .
Q1. How should i go about divorcing my wife so as to comply with Canadian laws of monogamy in order to sponsor my second wife ?
Q2 Should i then marry my second wife here in Pakistan and then come to Canada and then apply to sponsor her ?
Q3. What is the quickest way for my second wife to come to Canada? The things required for this to happen?
Q4. Can my first wife also come to Canada as someone who is now single since she is a also a PR; any problems there ?
Long story short i just simply want to know the best way to go about my situation in order to have my second wife there in Canada as soon as possible, without any potential legal ramification that prevents me from doing so.
also keep in mind that once i am in Canada, i would not be able to go back to Pakistan to marry my second wife , because of PR obligations of spending 2 years in a 5 year period to continue my PR. So i would have to marry her before i come to Canada.
I hope i was able to communicate the issue here clearly. Would be really grateful if respected forum members can give their feedback on the issue.
Thanking in advance.
