Getting divorced from co-signer during parents sponsorship

[dranli]

Hi guys,

I have submitted an application to sponsor my parents to come to Canada back in 2011; I was married at the time of submission and my ex-wife was my co-signer.

I am now finalizing my divorce, and am wondering how do I inform CIC of such, and how do I show that my individual income is sufficient to support the sponsoring?

Thank you in advance for your input!

12.4. Handling withdrawal of co-signers A co-signer who wishes to withdraw must apply in writing and is subject to the following conditions: • the written request must be received well before a permanent residence visa has been issued; • the co-signer must provide a copy of the agreement initialed by each of the signatories (i.e., sponsor, co-signer and foreign national) acknowleging the removal of the co-signer; • the co-signer is not bound by the terms of the sponsorship if the sponsorship is approved. If written request is received and a permanent residence visa has been issued: • inform co-signers that notwithstanding their request to withdraw their support, they are bound by the terms of the sponsorship undertaking.
