Hi Guys,
I need your help. I have been married for 5 years. Was married in India. we did registered our marriage and then got married and within year we moved to Canada. I live in Vancouver since I arrived. But things are not working out as I thought( as there is too much involvement of her mom and dad in our relationship) . Tried to reconcile with my wife but. I want to live in peace now and be happy . I was PA and she was my dependent when we applied for our PR. We will be applying for our citizenship soon. Now, I cant take it anymore (taking since last 3 years) and I plan to divorce her. we have no kids, No property yet( luckily).We both have full time jobs and earning and supporting is not an issue at all. I have no grudge against her or her family, but its just I want to free myself from this relationship, I wish her all the best in her life.

-My question is can I get divorce in Canada (Vancouver) without going to India even though I was married in India???? (I hate the way Indian system works)
-Will it affect our PR/Citizenship status?
- Can we apply for our citizenship individually like separately on our own?

Anyone from Canada with good advice and suggestion, please respond. highly appreciate your help. Hope you guys understand what I am going through.
Thanks for Reading.

For Question #1, please read these links...

For question #2, if none of you has a conditional permanent residence, it should not affect your PR status. I'm assuming that it's a GENUINE marriage. If one of you has a conditional permanent residence, you probably need to consult with a lawyer.

If you pass question #2, no problem with citizenship later on (question #3)

OP has been in Canada at least 3 years since being PR. So no conditional clause apply.

Hi Everyone,

Does both parties need to be in Canada to do the divorce procedure?

Thank you
