Dissolved Marriage - Divorced = Urgent Please help

[Jason2014]

Hello all,
And thank you for stopping by at my thread here.

I am very confused and I needed your help.

I applied for PR-CEC in June 2013, and I recently got my MR. A day after getting my MR, I got another email from CEC asking for additional information.

They want me to send in my DIVORCE CERTIFICATE.

My marriage was "dissolved" and I was not "divorced" and while filling in the form, under marital status, there was NO option for "Marriage Dissolved" so I called up the embassy of my country and they advised that I put "Divorced" instead - which I did.

I also sent in the legal document 'Act of marriage' that I received from the embassy to CEC which indicated all the details of my marriage along with the details of the dissolution of my marriage.

Now, I received this email demanding a Divorce Certificate that I don't have as my marriage was dissolved and I was not divorced. I feel that this was demanded because I put DIVORCED as my marital status on my forms.

Should I send an email explaining what I have just explained above and attach the same document again???

Please advise. I am so stressed right now. I don't want to be screwed up now after going through so much already.

Please help and thanks in advance.

Thank you propane.

That's exactly what I want to do. Send them an email and explain to them the situation. But, the only legal document that was ever given to me, I already sent out to them along with my application in June 2013. I will be resending them same document along with it's english translation (as the document is in French)

I am just so stressed man, don;t want to be screwed up now. Thank you.

You don't to translate the documents if they are in French. CIC accepts original documents that are written in French.

Yes, I know, but the french document that I sent out to them in June 2013 along with all my other documents, indicated clearly that the marriage was dissolved and yet they sent me an email asking me for my divorce certificate (I am thinking because I put DIVORCED under marital status on the form, that is why this request for a divorce certificate was sent).

So, this time along with sending that legal document again with the email of explanation, I am also sending the english version, just in case. As it very clearly says on there "Marriage Dissolved".
