Divorce before landing

Hi all,

My case is quite unusual here. I got married last year but for some reason I had to give divorce to my husband. During our marriage my husband included me in his PR. (he was the primary applicant). Later, in this year, I received an email from him to get my medical done for the PR. However, since I was on the verge of giving him divorce, I didn't go for the medical. Since he is already a green card holder in USA, he might not bother informing IRCC about the divorce and ask them to remove me from the application. In this case, what should I do?
Should I inform IRCC about it and ask me to remove from the application?
Note: I do not have any contact with my ex husband.


Please help!
Thanks!
Bela

You can't be removed from the application if you are not legally divorced or separated yet.

We are legally divorced. But my question is, should I inform IRCC about our divorce to remove me from the application, since my ex husband might not bother informing IRCC about it since he already has green card in the USA.

You ex husband have to tell IRCC you are divorced if he still wants PR, or the application can't move forward without your medical.

If you want you can contact IRCC yourself via web form, explain the situation and provide them with the divorce paperwork

Hi, I have already contacted ircc through web form with my divorce certificate. But they told me I am not my ex husband’s representative hence they will not provide me with any info. In this case what should I do? My only concern is to know whether I’m eligible to apply for student visa.

You did all you could. Since his application cannot go forward without your medical, he will eventually be notified of this and then explicitly remove you from the application. You should be fine applying for student visa.

Thank you for giving me hope. In this case, while applying for student visa, should I mention this issue in a letter of explanation?

I don't think you have to mention it at all. Just my opinion though. Maybe others can comment.

Hello, I’m seeking another expert opinion. I contacted ircc again even though they had said that I’m not the representative. Anyway this time they said, I don’t have any application in process and the info that I provided will not be added to my file. I know what they are trying to say, but just wanted to get your opinion, it means I can apply student visa without any doubt right ?

I think so, but again it is just my opinion. I have no relation with IRCC so I can't say with any certainty that it is fine.
