PR Sponsored Spouse wants to Separate

[amroz]

Hi Everyone, Need help on what should I be doing ?
I am an Indian Citizen and PR in Canada
Background:
I came in Canada in 2021, work permit 2022, got ITA in 2023 and got PR in April 2024 (with card). Got Married in June 2024, my spouse is also from India.
Filled outland family class sponsorship, which got Approved in April 2025, she landed in June 2025 using eCOPR and got the PR card withing 2 weeks.

Now, things are not going well, my spouse would like to separate and return back to India. I need help and guidance on how to navigate this. Below are my questions which I have to get a clarity.

Q1. If we mutually agree that to get Separated, does she need to renounce her PR here in Canada before returning ?
Q2. After she returns back to India, all the separation formalities are done there, is there something which I need to inform to IRCC ?
Q3. I am aware once I get separated, If I remarry someone, I can only sponsor new spouse after 3 years. Can I marry someone with any Canada Visa so that they can stay with me and only after 3 years, I file for new sponsorship ?

These are the questions right now I have in mind, please free to correct me or provide your inputs.

Thank you

Edit: She is from India.

Sorry to hear you're separating.

I do have a question. You state that your spouse `is also from Canada'. What was her status in Canada when you met; what was her status when the sponsorship application was submitted?


Q1. She does not need to renounce her PR Status. Unless you can provide evidence (to IRCC) that she became a PR knowing that the marriage was `over', in essence fraudulantly, her status would not be impacted by the separation. You will still be financially responsible for her for the remainder of the three year window from the day she became a PR. If she were to return to Canada during this period and go on social assistance, for example, you could be responsible for repaying the government.

Q2. No

Q3. Possibly, but `she' would need to find a way to obtain (and then maintain) visitor status in Canada. Unlike the country below Canada, there is no `fiance' visa' available to her.

Good luck to you both.

I have corrected that, She is from India. Marriage was fixed by elders, I met her in India and got married.

Answering for Q1, we applied Outland Family Class sponsorship in Dec 2024, she being the primary applicant and me the sponsor. The application got Approved in April 2025, she arrived in June 2025. Things didn't seem to workout. and we are at this point. If she renounces her PR then there will be no ties between us ?
