Divorced husband before getting P.R. and now want to re-marry

Hi all,

A friend had applied for Canada P.R. along with her dependent husband and their kid. Unfortunately they divorced after six months of application and thus my friend requested CHC to remove her husband's name from the application. She had enough points to get the P.R.

Now she is in Canada since past eight months but wants to re-marry the same guy she divorced. If she marries him again, can she become a sponsor for him and file normally as a canadian p.r. would do for his/her dependent spouse who is outside canada?

or will there be any hassles in the process?

Awaiting valuable inputs

Regards

Yes - she should definitely expect problems. CIC most likely won't let her sponsor her husband even if they re-marry. CIC does not allow this type of sponsorship since it provides a loop hole for excluding a medically inadmissible spouse from an economic class PR application and then allowing that same person to be sponsored later through spousal sponsorship.

The husband will most likely have to qualify to immigrate on his own if he wants to come to Canada.

If he was removed from the original application she can expect
a lot of questions and may be seen as that she is only helping him
to gain status in Canada, as she already divorced him.
This application may take long time to process and a lot of
scrutiny, the outcome is uncertain.

I suspect that she will not be able to sponsor this man. As Scylla stated, they will see it as trying to use the loophole of spousal sponsorship rules regarding inadmissability.

Even IF she is able to overcome that portion of it, I suspect they would also wonder why she would remarry the very man she divorced to begin with and likely they will suspect it is a convenience thing to get him to Canada and not meant to last. It certainly sounds that way, if I may be so blunt.

There will definitely be problems.
However, legally she can submit a sponsorship application for her spouse just like any other PR.

To increase the chances it will be accepted: they should explain clearly why they decided to divorce, and provide any proof they can that this explanation is true.
Then they have to explain why they decided to remarry, again with proof.

It certainly will look like a divorce of convenience to CIC. So they should provide evidence that the divorce and remarriage have nothing to do with immigration. For example, one reason a couple might do this is if the principal applicant has enough points to immigrate on his or her own, but the spouse is medically inadmissible. That would mean both of them would be refused. If they divorce, then the principal applicant can be accepted.
So if this is not the reason they divorced, prove this in the new application. Show there was no medical inadmissibility issues.

I would also suggest waiting for a while before remarrying and applying for PR. Doing so very quickly after divorcing and immigrating increases the likelihood CIC will think it was a divorce of convenience. If they communicate a lot, and gradually decide getting divorced was a mistake, then decide to remarry, this might seem believable.

You can certainly try. As explained above, there's a significant chance of refusal.

That user hasn't posted for 2 and a half years, so they are very unlikely to return to provide an update.

I hope you don't still feel that you love each other; as was explained to the other user, CIC will immediately suspect in a situation like this that it was either a divorce of convenience to avoid them being examined, or else a re-marriage of convenience to get the ex-partner into Canada. You will need to demonstrate that the relationship genuinely failed in the past, and that it has begun again. If you "still" love each other, then you are probably on a hiding to nothing.
