If the divorce was filed by a Canadian Immigrant,
Canadian immigrant does not necessarily mean citizen, the term is inclusive of PRs and naturalized citizens. It takes years to become a citizen after landing. If he landed recent years, the chance is higher that he is not a citizen.

The business of divorce requires that one be educated and not get trapped by ignorance. A reputable lawyer is essential. Divorce attorneys can actually help you save money, over taking bad - however well-meaning - advice from friends or relatives who think they know best.

Hi everyone! Newbie here! I would like to ask, i had a boyfriend and we've been together for almost 2 years, he is in canada now and he was married back then in philippines, but they were separated for so long! He is not yet a canadian residence, and now he is planning to file a divorce for his wife! Does the divorce can be legal? If he is not yet a canadian citizen? Or how can we do it right? Because we wanted to get married! Can somebody help me? Thank you!

Sis sorry to say this to you, If you are still a filipino citizen when you obtained your divorce in canada, then your divorce in the philipines wont be recognized, since we dont have divorce in the pphilippines.

Under Art. 26 of the Family Code, it is stated:

�Art. 26. All marriages solemnized outside the Philippines, in accordance with the laws in force in the country where they are solemnized, and valid there as such, shall also be valid in this country, except those prohibited under Articles 35(1),(4), (5), (6), 36, 37 and 38.

Where a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner is validly celebrated and a divorce is thereafter validly obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating him or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall have capacity to remarry under Philippine law."

It is this second paragraph of Art. 26 that enables a Filipino spouse to remarry once his/her foreigner spouse obtains a divorce.

Alicia V. Sempio-Dy, in her book Handbook on the Family Code of the Philippines, explained the background behind the second paragraph of Art. 26:

�Under the second paragraph of the above Article, where a Filipino is married to a foreigner and the latter thereafter obtains a valid divorce abroad capacitating him or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall likewise have the capacity to remarry under the Philippine law.

even he can obtain his divorce in canada sis since he is still a filipino citizen his divorce decree wont be recognized in pinas, if he is a canadian citizen already, then his divorce maybe recognized in pinas. tell him to file an annulment...

im not sure if he is already an immigrant or still a filipino then...

1. if he is still a filipino when he filed the divorce, can i re-marry? can i take the divorce papers to the embassy and have notarized it or something?

2. if he is an immigrant, do i take the divorce papers to the canadian embassy as well?

... if you are still a filipino, will they allow it if you file for divorce in canada? just curious...
If you are married in the Philippines you can not divorce,
He can divorce because the law in Canada allows him to do,
You can try the annulment, which is complicated and very expensive

If you move somewhere else you can proceed with the recognition of the divorce
and re-marry somewhere else, but not in Philippines.
