Hello there
Here is my situation
We become married 2009 and immigrant 2012. After becoming PR we are not living together but hoping situation will be resolved, but its not the case.
To complete the divorce process I divorced her in Bangladesh where the marriage conducted. ( Both of us Bangladeshi citizen ). Now I want to marry in Bangladesh and sponsor my wife.
What is the actual procedure?
In my understanding
First I have to notify the CIC the divorce has been conducted according to Bangladeshi law.
Then do I need to get permission if I marry In Bangladesh?
What is the actual process to bring the new person after marriage?
Your comments will be appreciated.
Regards

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
You can find some information in our Settlement.Org Will my foreign divorce be recognized in Canada? article.
Here is an excerpt,
According to Family Law Education for Women (FLEW) [PDF], your foreign divorce will generally be recognized by the Canadian government, if you or your spouse lived in the country where you got a divorce for at least 1 year before the start of the divorce proceedings.
If neither of you lived in the country for a year, your divorce may still be legal if the person who applied for the divorce can prove they have a “real and substantial connection” with the country. For example, if it is your country of origin and you returned there after the divorce, or you own property or spend a lot of time there.
In terms of sponsoring a new spouse, you can find some information in our Settlement.Org How do I sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent child living outside of Canada? article.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
