Hello @legalfalcon,
I wanted to know if you could throw some light on my situation. I applied for PR under FSW-Outland category. I am the primary applicant and my husband is listed as non accompanying spouse as he did not want to accompany me as of now since he had a work contract he wanted to complete. I got my PPR request on June 1st and submitted my passport and got it back on June 13th.
Between then and now, my family situation changed drastically. My husband and I decided our marriage wasn't working out and we had to accept it now better than ever as I got my COPR and would leave to a different country. So we decided to split. We started the divorce process and expected it to take at least 3 months. So, I was looking into filing legal separation and update CIC about it. But today, our attorney called and said that there is a hearing date available as soon as June 27th and we could be granted divorce on the same day. Now, my worry is.. would CIC think that I knew that my marriage broke down and didn't inform them since it has only been about 15 days from the day my COPR has been issued that I headed for a divorce. I am already in a very stressful situation with my impending divorce and I don't want to lose my COPR as well. Could you please advice on how I should proceed? Should I
- postpone my divorce date and file a legal separation and let CIC know or
-go ahead with 27th divorce date and intimate CIC
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
