I’m planning to apply for permanent residency in Canada under the Federal Skilled Worker program. I’m going through a divorce in India, which started two years ago. My wife has filed several cases, including one for us to live together, another to move the divorce case to her city, and a maintenance case. Our four-year-old son lives with her. Should I include details of these legal proceedings in my PR and visa application? Could these cases affect my chances of getting Canadian PR or a visa? Is it possible that my wife could cause problems for me or my parents in India during or after the PR and visa process?

You should disclose all pending legal proceedings related to your divorce, including maintenance and custody cases. While these cases themselves may not automatically disqualify you, they can be seen as a potential barrier to successful integration into Canada and might affect your application. It is important to consult with an immigration lawyer to understand the potential impact of these cases and how to best present your situation in your application.
