If you were not residing in Pakistan for 1 year before the divorce, then it is probably not valid in Canada.

{ If a divorce has been obtained in Pakistan by a sponsor residing in Canada, you must submit evidence that either party
of the divorce resided in Pakistan for at least one year prior to the divorce. Alternatively, you may
submit evidence that either party to the divorce had a substantial connection to Pakistan such as
frequent visits, property ownership, and/or active businesses in Pakistan.} ------------ --------------------------------------- i hope from there find my questions answer. thx all f u.
