[Tee2025]

Hi Yasir, I just wanted to check with you, whether you already got the PR ? I'm in the same situation, I've just submitted all the documents, letters, affidavits, even a letter from my lawyer and court. Now I'm waiting for their response. I jst want to know whether this actually works, or they are in particular with teh divorce certificate. Please let me know, this is a huge stressful situation for me. Any advise would greatly be appreciate.

@Cham333 please can you share the samples of letters, affidavit, lawyers letter and court letters, also have you gotten a response from ircc about this, kindly inform us how it all went

Hi

What is your situation and current status in the PR process. And have they asked you for the divorce certificate?

I'll be honest with you, It will be difficult for you if you did not start the divorce process. You must at least start the procedure in order to show the officer that your separation is final and you do not intend to sponsor her. So here is what you need to do

1. So first what you will need to do is to start the divorce. Get a paper from the court with your file or case number proving you have filed a divorce case
2. Go to a notary or a lawyer (or any certified commissioner to have a legalized affidavit) and have a signed affidavit stating that you are right now seperated, your separation is final, you do not intend to reconcile and you do not intend to sponsor her in the future into Canada
3. Write an explanation letter in response to IRCC request using the font ARIAL size 14. You need to use short sentences explaining your situation right now, that you have started the divorce process (see attachement your court documents that you will provide), You explain why you cannot provide divorce certificate (example the case is still in the divorce court and not finalized) and that your separation is final and you will not sponsor your ex into Canada ( see attachement 2 the legalized affidavit)
4. Sign your explanation letter and don't forget to put your name, IRCC's application number and your UCI if you have it. Remember always short sentence (use bullet points if you need) and straight to point. keep it short and sweet

Good luck and keep us updated

IRCC is asking for divorce certificate, i filled legally separated and provided them with affidavit of separation from High court in my home country earlier when the first ADR came requesting for proof of separation, i also provided my bills and children bills receipts that i have handling myself but they still sent me another ADR for divorce certificate which i don't have because i haven't filed for it yet. What can i do?

I tagged you to other threads. Read thru those. My journey has been the same try your level best to continue proving in as many ways as possible that you are legally seperated.

My 1st ADR was Nov 28, 2023
And I got eCoPR on June 11, 2025

Took many attempts and affidavits and papers to convince them and get thru but keep.your perseverance. You will get thru.

Yes they are asking for it and i haven't applied for it yet, i choose legally separated for my civil status and gave them a sworn affidavit regarding it but before but they are still asking for more documents to give clarity.

You have two options:
Either go to La Mairie, and do Assermentation ou legalisation de signature. Or you can go to a Notary ( Notaire ) and ask to do a declaration de séparation ( check Neonotario.com)
I don't have my documents here with me right now but I can email you of you want a sample of an affidavit you can do at la Mairie

could you please email me too a sample of how these documents should be written? Thanks in anticipation

If you haven't applied for a divorce in court yet, I do not know how that goes.
For me my legal procedure had been going on for years but just not concluded. So I did keep submitting the updated status again and again along with other affidavits and
