Hi Every one,
I would like to explain my situation right now and really appreciate if i can get an advices and help to solve my issue or concern.
I came in this country "Canada" as a landed immigrant in 2007 as my wife who was my relative sponsored me after we get married in Pakistan. After landing in Canada thing were not same as I expected and the relation between us did not grow becouse of our liking and nature and then i found out after a month or so that she was being forced to get married with me. As it was an arranged marriage. So after 7 months living and fighting I decide to leave her house. We stay apart more then a year we decided to file divorced and move on with our life. She file a divorce and become plaintiff and it was un contested divorced. and i do have orginal divorce judgment certificate copy now.
The reason i am writing this becouse after living almost a 2 year alone in Canada and make my career i m thinking to get married again as my parents are looking for girl back at home. I hvnt met any one to fall in love so I am looking to get arranged another time. My concerns are
a- Will I be able to sponsor my new wife
b- what are the Possibilities that my application get rejected because of my previous marriage ended etc
c- Because of my job i cant stay in Pakistan more then 2.5 week
D- Where i can look for more info and get more knowledge.
E- What should i do to make my case stronger .
F- Any thing that help?
My plan is to visit Pakistan for 2 weeks or so when i find my partner and Do nikkah and come back file the case. I will go back to pakistan next year or when the application is being approved so that I can bring her with me to Canada.
I will appreciate if I can get the advice to make this happen as I dont want to get married in pakistan and leave the girl alone and waite for me forever becouse of my past or procedure and laws.
Thanks..
It's taking 2 years for a sponsorship application to be processed through Islamabad so first thing you should know is that if you do get married again to a woman in Pakistan, it won't be a fast process to bring her here if she's approved. Second thing you should know is that your first marriage will cause more scrutiny to this sponsorship application. Third, you should get your Canadian citizenship first before doing this. It's not a requirement but you may decide to stay in Pakistan longer to be with your wife and PRs can't do that when sponsoring a spouse. PRs are only allowed to be out of the country for short periods when sponsoring. This is not the case for citizens.
And what about the Rukhsati? There have been a few decisions of the Immigration Appeal Division on point about that if it is not done.
http://www.canlii.org/eliisa/highlight.do?text=marriage+AND+refused+AND+immigratAs there is a very long wait period for spousal applications to be processed through Islamabad, up to 24 months, it may seem reasonable to a visa officer that this ceremony could be held before your immigration application is complete. Unless there is a very strong reason why this ceremony cannot be held in Pakistan within that 24 month period and you advise the visa office as to this, my opinion is that it may cause you some difficulties. Here is another recent decision also on point.
