[cdo_ali]

Hi everyone!
This is my first time i am blog here, I need some information related to visit visa and sponsorship. I am married to Canadian lady who is a landed immigrant since June 2003 and Canadian Citizen from January 2007 . We got married in July 2015 and happily married since then. My wife wife had business in Canada due that she has to visit Canada off and on. Last year in Nov 2016, I applied for visit visa which was rejected. Now she is wants to sponsor me. She consulted few lawyers in Canada. i want to clear following quires if u can help.

1. We got married in July 2015 and My divorce with my X-wife was finalize in Jan 2016 does that make chance of rejection sponsorship. As in Canadian law does not allow two marriages, but in Pakistani Law it is allowed.

2. Even in this case court decree was issued in April 2015 for divorce but certificate of divorce was issue in Jan 2016. My divorce will be consider dissolved from which date

3. Should i Apply for Spousal visa any advise

1. You aren't legally married in Canada's eyes. This means your wife cannot sponsor you as a spouse. If you have lived together continuously for at least a year, she can sponsor you as her common law partner. Otherwise you need to get remarried.

You are not married legally according to Canada's laws, so can not apply as married.

If you've been living together since July 2015 then you are common-law, so need to apply as such and include proofs that you've cohabited at least the required 12 continuous months.
