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

Did you already started divorce process?

no yet.. because I and my ex thought the agreement is enough as it is fully legal. we got married in my home country. I am living in Canada for last 3 years and he is residing in the home country. I did not know I can file the divorce in Canada even though we got married in the home country. Did you file the divorce to the canada court?

Yes, you can. I have just replied to you in https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...reads/legally-seperated.876242/#post-11112013 :)
 
It's very complicated here as you have to serve the documents through Hague Convention if your spouse's country is part of that and which takes almost 5 months

Do you think you have to wait until the divorce is fully made and get the divorce certificate before getting FD..? Sorry for a lot of questions..

Any update on this situation? We are kind of facing similar situation. I listed myself as married even though separated already for 3 years. No divorce or annulment yet. I had attached a letter of explanation saying that legally we are still married, but I have made necessary approaches to formalize separation, such as divorce filing. I provided affidavit of separation, a statutory declaration saying I will not sponsor my ex in the future. Since I listed myself as married and spouse non accompanying. System will still ask for her medical, pcc, passport, digital photo.

I have a copy of her passport but for other documents I only submitted a letter of explanation saying I cant provide these since we are already separated and I wish to exclude her from application. I also had my ex sign Imm 5604 forms for our children.

Just submitted my application a few days ago. Im anxious as to how IRCC treats this kinds of situations and submissions from the applicant. Thank you

If I am legally separated and have court petition, do I need add proof of funds for spouse too? Gave them as non acc-spouse in EE profile.

I am in process to apply for PR. My spouse came here on SOWP but things didn't go well among us. She output false DV allegation on me, and we have been in no contact since then. Peace bond was given by court which has been completed recently. Now, in my PR application I have mentioned the marital status to be married and spouse non-accompanying. Divorce proceeding haven't started yet but we are no-contact for more than 2 years during the course of the court case and have no intention for reconciliation. I am not aware of her whereabouts but she's in canada only. Not aware of her status in Canada and won't be able to get the PCC and medical from her. Now I am wondering:

1) If showing the seperation for 2 years, court case details and letter of explanation stating no intention to reconcile with my spouse will be sufficient to satisfy all the IRCC requirements for non-accompanying spouse. What are the chances of getting PR with this step
2) Or should I start with divorce process, and include the divorce petition(1st stage in divorce process) in the application to strengthen the case further. Please note, it might take longer to finalize the divorce but at least the document will show that the process has been started.

Please advise. Thanks in advance
