Helppp Re document request
If someone could give me some direction? I have been seprated from my former spouse since sept 2008 our divorce has been started. My common law spouse in canada is sponsoring me as i have been in canada since jan 2009. Sponsorship approval was approved now england has requested a divorce decree from my previous spouse, is there any other documents that we can send as proof of seperation?? Any input on this would be great Thanx so much

Re: Helppp Re document request
Here we go, from the Spousal Sponsorship operating manual............
Sponsor or common-law partners still married to someone else
Persons who are married to third parties may be considered common-law partners provided their marriage has broken down and they have cohabited in a conjugal relationship with the commonlaw partner for at least one year.
Cohabitation with a common-law partner must have started after a physical separation from the spouse.
Evidence of separation from the spouse may include:
• a separation agreement;
• a signed formal declaration that the marriage has ended and that the person has entered into a common-law relationship;
• a court order regarding custody of children; and
• documents removing the legally married spouse(s) from insurance policies or wills as beneficiaries.

Re: Helppp Re document request
Thank you so much for the information. I am wondering would the formal declartaion just need to be signed from myself or would my previous spouse have to sign it also as i am in canada and she lives in the uk?
