Bonjour/Hello:


1. Madali lang ang problem mo. Una gawa kayu separation agreement kasama yung custody arrangement ng mga bata at ikaw ang primary parent.

2. Magfile ka ng uncontested divorce sa city kung saan ka resident. Papirmahin mo si dating Mr. then wait ka maibigay ang divorced order then kuha ka ng divorced certificate.

3. Pagnagapply ka ng PR isama mo sa application mo.

PERO ETO LANG PROBLEMA MO:


1. Divorce obtained by Filipinos anywhere in the world is not valid under Philippine Civil and Family Law;

2. Divorce obtained by former Filipinos who were naturalized must file a Petition for the Recognition of Foreign Divorce Decree in the Regional Trial Court of the applicant.

3. Annulment is a costly and lenghtly process not to mentioned time and emotional draining and keep in my there are only valid grounds for annulment and the existance of an extra marital affairs is not one of them.

4. The primary parent must have the clearance from the DSWD should any minor children of marriage should be brought out of the Philippines and to obtained such, the consent of your ex-husband is required.

5. You cannot marry the father of your current child unless there was a Final decision on the nullity of marriage given by the court in the Philippines or else you are answerable for the crime of adultery and bigamy.

I suggest that you retain a services of a Canadian Immigration Lawyer not just Immigration consultants to effectively guide you to make an informed decision.

Cheers, Mabuhay et Vive le Quebec.

Hi Sis. We do have similar situation, but honestly I will tell you now you have to prepare yourself and have load of strength with you and work on this things one at a time... Like you I was also married here in the Phils.(now, ex-husband) with 2 kids when I came to Canada 2008 as foreign worker. The best advice I can give you is to file for a divorce there in Canada, but you have to make sure that your tourists visa status still valid while you are staying there... mind you once the immigration officer found out that you have a baby (or still pregnant) and you are just a tourists and married back home with kids they will really go after you. My annulment took me 15 months before it was granted.. and I spent P150,000 just for legal fees alone, I didn't include in my annulment the kids custody case as it will prolong the process and will greatly affect the kids schooling and will be traumatic for them... as I said one at a time sister otherwise maloloka ka. First and foremost to consider is your legal status there in Canada para di ka nila pauwiin, 2nd file a divorce there, 3rd it doesn't matter if you will file annulment here sa Pinas... it depends if your husband here in the Phils. will be cooperative with you when it comes to the kids, otherwise that's another struggling. You may able to sponsor the kids someday BUT with the consent of the father. I've been in your situation before, gladly I am annulled since May 2011, just got married last Dec. 2, 2011 with my Canadian husband now, I currently have a pending child custody battle for my 2 boys, and is waiting this year for the approval of my spousal sponsorship and Canadian Citizenship Certificate for our 2 year old girl. It's been 3 full years of challenges and struggling... I made this far with a loving support from my husband who is 8,000 miles awayfrom me, he is very supportive of me all throughout... PM me if you have any queries. Goodluck!!!
Hi! Ms Quebec Vixitor and Ms Ysabelle ! Can you please PM me your Lawyer's NAME, ADDRESS and CONTACT NUMBER? I might be needing their services soon. Thank you so much!

@ kaloka, concerned lang si leeneljane na baka ma misrepresent mo self mo, CIC have their own ways of investigating and there are a lot of cases in CanLii of misrepresentation and was deported but i haven`t read of a case where a person had her Philippine annulment processed in a record one month time and was sent home. You comply with all the requirements needed in your Spousal Application and that is the most important thing.
i just feel bad though that we`re tolerating this kind of corrupt practices in our country(no pun intended). I`m also doing my annulment right now, filed it May 2010, last hearing(psychologist as witness) on June 2012. I`m just thankful that i have a supportive and understanding partner.
Alam ng CIC na mahal at matagal ang proseso ng annulment sa Pilipinas.. So pag gumamit tayo ng fixer sa NSO at di nagtatama ang mga dates sa application natin.. Gaya ng date na maghiwalay ang mag -asawa at ang date na ma process ang annnulment.. Hindi mahirap sa CIC para makita ang mga loopholes na ganito.. Kaya ingat lang tayo...
