Guys please help.
I got married in march 2014 -my x husband was in Canada (Missasaua)and I was back home in Pakistan .My Pr procedure started in 2014 by my x husband as he was sponsoring me- I received my PR (issued in 7 jan 2016) when I first entered Canada its valid till 12 feb 2021.Unfortunately I got divorced in 5th April 2017 .
Now when I want to remarry and sponsor a spouse the problem arises due to 5 year sponsorship bar rule.
Which states:Under this regulatory amendment, the authorities can place a bar on a person from sponsoring a spouse or a partner for a five-year period. However, this bar will apply only to those individuals sponsored by another person as a spouse or a partner.
My question is does this 5 year period starts from the day I received my pr when it was issued when I first landed in Canada in 2016? or the 5 year period starts from the day my x spouse sent my application for sponsoring me which was in 2014?.
