Challenge in declaring the marital status

[callmaster]

Hi,

I am planning to apply for Canadian PR under FSW from India and am looking for advice from experts.

I got 72 points in the initial evaluation.

I am married and have a kid. But for the past 3 years my wife and kid are not living with me and we are not in talking terms. We have no plans to get together again. The marriage is not registered and we have not applied for any divorce or separation.

I do not have any proof of wedding nor can I get any medical certificate or back ground verification from my wife or kid. As I have no plans to take them with me, can I explain my position and give some sort of affidavit stating I can not produce any document related to my marriage ?

The application form states that I need to produce the documents from my spouse whether are not she is accompanying.

Thanks in advance.

I am worried to apply as single as it may constitute to hiding information.

You are right. Legally speaking you need to get divorce papers.

Having a wife and kids constitute having dependents. Unless you can legally prove you are single, you will have to include your family in your application, pay the fee and submit all their documents.

Hiding this crucial piece of information may land you in trouble and getting blacklisted from entering the country forever.

What are the ways of proving I am single or staying alone for 3 years ?

As I do not have any plans to take them in future, can I give some sort of declaration ?

It is not easy to get divorce in India.

Your kids would have a birth certificate with your name on it yes? If so, that might appear in background checks.
Immigration is a huge deal. I would not leave unattended business behind specially with legal matters.

Even if you file for divorce, unless its finalized before you submit application, they will still be your dependents.

CIC specifically mentions to declare dependents. It's really your call if you want to hide that part.
