  hello,

My case is a complicated one. My wife (canadian citizen and divorced) sponsored me as her spouse. My case is being processed in Singapore(June 21,2005).
Just today we received a letter that CIC did not accepted the divorce between my wife and her ex-husband outside canada in 2002. They said that since both my wife and her ex-husband was canadian citizen at the time of divorce so they are not accepting the divoece issued in Dhaka under federal law. They also suggested to proceed my case under common law partner or cojugal law partner category and produce new evidence based on this category within 30 days.

I Need suggestion immediately. Should we continue on this category or not? As you know it reqires 1 year cohabitation, but we are together for 300 days only approximately. Moreover we are going to have a baby in October.

I am thinking 2 possible options:

1) To drop my PR application at this stage. My wife applying to federal court for divorce order based on seperate living with her ex-husband for more than one year. After getting the order reapply to Missisauga with modified documents?

2) To continue the application with CIC´s suggested category for the time being. Then aside applying for divorce order in federal court Ontario. After getting the order then writing a letter to CIC to change my category as her spouse. But I am not sure if it´s possible to get a divorce letter with a month of application.

Please suggest me if any other options can work. I am not sure whether CIC is really trying to help our case or its a way of telling sorry to the applicant.

I am thinking you must go with insuring your sponsors divorce is recognized in Canada and then moving forward with a new application.

appeals seem to take forever and your current application appears to be dead because CIC has rendered a decision.

To Sharon or other expert in complicated case (in reply to: Sharon , need help urgently)
I am confused. Since our marriage is not recognized to CIC, so if my wife gets official divorce letter from canadian court, still do we have to remarry again?
Neither My wife nor me did not know before submitting application that a canadian court order of divorce is required to remarry a canadian citizen.

Religiously we are married and her former case is resolved permanently. Do I need to marry her twice just to meet cic requirements to qualify as her spouse? It really does not make any sense at all.
We will keep the ball rolling under conjugal case no matter what the outcome is to let CIC know about our continuing relationship.
