You can keep your PR status.

You can keep your PR status.

I don't have citizenship of canada so are you sure that i can live and study my deegree even after i take divorce?
It's all about my future..
Pls make confirmation.

Yes - confirming you can remain in Canada and keep your PR status. Your PR status is not dependent or conditional on your spouse. It's yours to keep.

The one issue is that you can not sponsor another spouse for 5 years from your landing date when you got your PR.

Thank you for the advice but as i received next reply from someone else that i can't sponsor anyone in next 5 years if i marry someone in future..
Is it true? Then how can i settle here if i will marry any indian girl in future?

Yes, it's true. Marry a Canadian or wait 5 years.

Can i call any girl on visitor visa and then marry here? And then can i file for her PR?

Did you not read the answer above in that you cannot sponsor a new spouse for 5 years from the the time you became a landed PR through your current spouse . So sure you can marry again but cannot sponsor a new wife for 5 years.

Eligibility all stated in following link even though implies ‘may not’ as opposed to ‘cannot’ so read into that as you want.

You can marry whenever you want. You cannot sponsor until 5 years from the date you landed.

I’m positive there’s more than likely single Indian girls already in Canada

This prevents people from getting married solely for immigration purposes then getting divorced and only to marry and sponsor someone else.

Most people who are still married and thinking about going through a divorce are not in a rush to get remarried. Depending on how long you have been in Canada you may not be eligible for a divorce in Canada yet.

Yes - that's correct.

You can marry someone new as soon as you have officially divorced. However you cannot sponsor your new spouse for PR until five years have passed from the time you landed in Canada and became a PR. This rule is in place to prevent immigration fraud.

In terms of how you can settle here, that's really up to you to sort out on your own. The law is clear - you cannot sponsor for the full five year period. There are no exceptions granted.
