Applying for pr in canada

Hi all,

I am here with personal problem and looking for your valuable suggestion and guidance. TO give my background. I belong to a very simple middle class family

On 3 June 2015, I went to US on k1 Visa after my marriage got settled to someone from US (born and brought up in US). On June 9 2015, we got legally married. After mariage we found that we had lots of culture difference and we were not compatible. He was physically involved with mutiple gals. We decided for seperation. On 15th July the divorce was file in Michigan and I came back to India on 13 July 2016. Please note K1 is valid for 3 months and I came back to India within my visa gets expired. The seperation was settled in Mid of August.  I was not married in India legally / socially. So relatives / neighbours are not aware of it.

My parents started looking for my marriage again and my marriage is almost settled. The alliace lives in canada and hold the PR there . He is not aware that I have gone through the above mentioned disaster in life. 

Now my worry is, if I share about my past  with my fiancee, this marriage can get broken again.  

Query: If I get married with him anbd apply for spouse / dependent Canada Visa/ PR, then should I need to mention that I was legally married and seperated in US ?  

I was not married in India legally / socially.My old parents and I am really worried to save this proposal and not to face any immigration issue to Canada.

Kindly suggest .

Thanks in advance

This is more a personal problem and not legal as you have to take a decision on your own.  We have received many such queries in the forum in the past as to how innocent concealment shattered marital bliss. Frankness pays. ( It is left to your decision as to whether marriage is legal or soial and a frank and open discussion to proposed,  ensures peaceful future or not)

Thank you Prasad Sir, it would be great if you could suggest me on the below query.

Query: If I get married with him anbd apply for spouse / dependent Canada Visa/ PR, then should I need to mention in the Spouse visa form that I was legally married and seperated in US ?   I should not get into imigration problem. Please guide me.

What about your pass port used for going to USA ?  (The marking and your marital status on it /)

Please consult specialists in Emmigration law for suitable remedy as they come across these cases regularly and competent to guide you.

For the present you may try to use all such methods i.e., suppression of your previous marriage, previous visit to US etc from your Canadian fiancee but what will you do when he somehow comes to know about the fact at a later date?

As Mr. Prasad opined, it is not a legal query hence no advice can be given on such issues, you have to decide on your own.

Thank you all for your response.

My passport holds K1 visa stamp (Fiancee visa) not spouse visa.

I believe it is a legal query.  My query: Can I mention in the Canadian Spouse visa that I was never married before? As neither my previous marriage was registered in India nor I had any social marriage in India / US. Marriage was registered in US and was filed for seperation in US within 15 days of marriage registration. 

I would like to request you reply to my query.

Regards

When you file marriage certificate from Registrar, such a question never arises.  Give advance notice To registrar of Marriages, file application with wedding card, marriage hall certificate, three photographs of garland exchange, sutra dharan and saath phere around Agni, call on Registrar with two independent witnesses and enclose marriage certificate.  No questions are asked either at Registrar's office or PPO.  (I never heard any one asking whether you were married before or not, when a recent marriage certificate is available).  As far as legality is concerned, there can not be any doubts and do not assume things or fears about legality and no one questions you.

Looking for the pr visa? A permanent resident is someone who has been given a permanent resident status after immigrating to a particular country but is not a citizen of that country. The work permit allows individuals of different nationalities to legally live and work in the country. On the basis of work experience in a particular country, skills, education and various other factors, a person can get a permanent resident visa.A permanent resident enjoys various social benefits granted to him by the destination country. They get most of the societal comforts and access to welfare schemes, just as the citizens of that country. The governments of developed countries like Canada, Denmark, Australia, Hong Kong etc. provide several utilities and services to their citizens.
