Hi Mr Q and other Seniors, i hope you can give input to this case:

i was just talking to a friend who has been planning to apply for some time but is in dilemma because he was previously married. Although the and his ex-wife are separated for more than 10 years and has not been in contact with each other, they have not filed for legal separation. Now he is in common law with another woman. They are both RNs and are really qualified. Questions:

1. will the previous marriage be a problem if they apply as common law?

2. if the mother cannot be located, will the children below 18 be admitted as part of the application pack when the form for parental authority will not be filled up?

thank you all for your help.

Your friend has to be legally divorced, first. Bigamy is inadmissible under Canadian law. Mother's affidavit giving consent for her kids to travel to Canada for permanent residence is required, too.
