Applying for canada PR when married but seperated for over 2 years

[priyabansal.in]

Theres a lot of different opinions on this situation and its really hard to come up with one plan. Im just hoping that being transparent with the situation would be enough for the officers to accept whatever documentation is presented

Hi @kbm91 , I am in the same boat (Separated but no separation document).
Could you share the affidavit of separation and statuary document (after hiding personal details) with me

Are the below documents enough to prove separation or would i still need the affidavit?

• current rental lease agreement,
• CRA Profile screenshot showing my status as “Separated.”
• WhatsApp Chat logs showing no contact..
• Certified Copies of Ongoing divorce petition.

The proof of divorce petition certainly helps but always up to IRCC.

Hello. It is kind of similar with me. I got ITA. I put it as 'legally separated' because I have an legal separation agreement that is signed by 2 witnesses of each and 1 lawyer of each for notarization. My ex-spouse is very incooperative and irresponsive, so I was begging him almost 5 months to get it done.. Off the topic, it was so hard time to go through.. Anyway, I submitted it as an evidence because this is legally effective document. IDK what IRCC to say.. just anxious as well.. my agency said there is no need to provide any documents of ex-spouse in case of 'legally separated', but they could issue ADR for an statement that I will never support any sponsorship PR. I am just waiting their review.

Add: My agency told me the legal separation agreement is enough. I did not submit any lease agreement, bank account, bills etc., but the agreement. FYI, they have had the same case before. At that time, IRCC asked the ex-spouse's documents, but they replied the spouse is non-responsive, so impossible to obtain and will not support any PR or Visa, and then approved. Hopefully this helps.
