The question of divorce.

[andreyka05]

Hey. We divorced his wife in court to obtain Veasey in Canada. 1 of divorced obtained a visa to Canada 10 numbers. Embassy of the we did not say that we were divorced. We arrived in Canada as a married couple, for dumentam for Canada. All good all received cards AVE. Now I want to divorce his wife. Wives do not have right now in Canada, and I do not know when will arrive here.
Question.
Can I divorce myself without her here?
I have a court decision on divorce. What we are breeding in the country where we were born and raised. But the question is what will not be there in court challenges when they see the date of the divorce, and it was even before his arrival in Canada, and there Landing. Do not expel us for it from Canada, such as a violation of the laws immigrationh? Or just bring a court decision for divorce and not to worry about, to continue to live and enjoy life.

Unfortunately it's very difficult to understand what you are asking.

 

[andreyka05]

Ask. I will try to answer more broadly

I think he is saying that he was already divorced in his home country but did not change his status while applying for PR, that they landed as a married couple, got their PR cards. Now the wife has gone home and he wants to divorce her again in Canada and is asking if there are consequences for him.

If that is the question, then the answer would be that yes, if immigration finds out that you did not notify them of divorce before landing as a PR, this would be considered misrepresentation and you could lose your PR.

yes it is because you have written! as I do the right thing? wife does not want to live in Canada. without it I can not divorce myself. I have a document that I have divorced in their country. can try to bring it to court, let dissolve without me?

You did the wrong thing andreyka. You should have told immigration you were divorced before you landed as a PR. Now you have a problem.

Safest for your PR would be to not do anything at all.

How do you know that it is so? You can link to the law?

These rules were in the letter you received from CIC when they were ready to issue your PR visa. You had to report any changes to your family composition before landing. A divorce is a family composition change. Since you did not report this change, you were in violation of immigration law when you landed.

You came here to ask and now you don't like the answer so you want to ask again? Do you think the answer will change?

Look here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/inadmissibility/who.asp

Among other things, it says:

A person may be denied a visa, or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), refused entry to, or removed from Canada on any of these grounds:

...
misrepresentation, which includes providing false information or withholding information directly related to decisions made under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA)

You can also check here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/express/refuse.asp what is says about family composition and changes in it:

All family members must be examined as part of the e-APR, whether they are accompanying the principal applicant or not. Family members can be added to the application at any time during the process, including after the visa is issued, but prior to obtaining permanent resident status. Applicants are instructed to inform CIC immediately if their family composition has changed (e.g., birth of a child, marriage, divorce).

These definitions above can not just be found in one place on the immigration website. They are actually mentioned in many places and the clause about family composition was probably sent to you in one of the letters received from immigration during the time they were processing your application.

Why did you not notify them anyway?

People have lost their PR due to misrepresentation. I am really not joking about that. There are people who have lost their PR due to not having notified immigration about a marriage that took place between applying and landing. People who have lost their PR due to not having declared a child. People who have lost PR due to not declaring a marriage and divorce which happened before they applied for PR even. Should have been completely irrelevant but no. Immigration takes misrepresentation very seriously so you should better hope they never find out about yours. By not notifying about your divorce, if you were the principal applicant, you helped your ex wife get PR when she would otherwise not have gotten it or if she was, then she helped you. Or if you were relying on spouse points, you helped each other.
