my parents didn't show up in our registration ceremoney

[andrewhl]

Hi guys
just want to look for some advices.
My parents back in China really don't appreciate me marrying now. cuz my wife is a bit elder and have a 5 year daughter from her last marriage(which is super cute and sweet).
Actually they were part of the reason that my first marriage ended up broken.
So I didn't even bother to invite them to come Canada to see my wife and I. Their reaction of me getting married is kind of like " do whatever you want, I don't care and I don't agree, you will screw up your life again anyway."
My wife's parents did attended our registration ceremony at cityhall.
How should I explain this in the questionnaire?
I hate to tell CIC that I had a kind of broken family since it is not something I am proud of and I certainly do not want CIC officers think this marriage is not a good one because husband get a bad relationship with his own parents. I don't even talk to my parents unless I really need them to mail some documents to me.
Is there any suggestions for this parts?
Thanks a lot!

You should explain on the application why your parents did not come to Canada for your wedding, but do not go into too many details about why they don't approve. You can say that you wanted them to come, but that you do not have a close relationship with them anyway and they chose not to come.

It is not ideal for immigration, but with a lot of other proof that the relationship is genuine, this one problem should not cause a rejection.

I will try to keep it as simple as possible
if they really put a redflag on this maybe I can worry about explain it later in an interview
