the time of his application for permanent residence to Canada in 2011, your sponsor indicated that he had previously been married and divorced. On the Document Checklist (form IMM5533) submitted with your current application, your sponsor answered “no” to the following question: Have you (the sponsor) ever been previously married
It appears that you have not disclosed your sponsor’s previous marriage, nor submitted any documents to demonstrate that your sponsor’s divorce was registered with the civil or legal authorities in Afghanistan at the time of the divorce. Although a man in Afghanistan may be married to more than one woman at a time, polygamous marriage is not legal in Canada, and to meet the definition of marriage as defined in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, your marriage must be valid in the country in which it took place (Afghanistan) and in Canada. In the absence of a divorce certificate, I have concerns regarding the validity of your marriage. If the marriage is not valid, you may not be considered to be a member of the family class and your application for permanent residence may be refused. Please submit a copy of your sponsor’s divorce certificate issued by civil or legal authorities, and provide an explanation, in your own or your sponsor’s words, of the process followed in your sponsor’s divorce.
In addition, it appears that you may have misrepresented your sponsor’s previous marital history on your application as you failed to disclose his previous marriage and divorce. This could have led to an error in the application of the law as it relates to the validity of your current marriage. Please note that, if you are found to have misrepresented a part of your application for permanent residence in Canada which could have led to an error in the administration of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, then you will not be permitted to apply for any kind of temporary or permanent residence visa for Canada for 5 years. We said and over new application say no what i should do now
