Topic:
Divorce process for outside Canada

Hello,
My cousin is planning to marry a man (Peter S.) who came to Canada under refugee status. While here, he married a woman but things did not work out. He did not get his PR and was deported back to Europe 4 years ago this November coming.

His estranged wife said that she was filing for divorce.

With my assistance, he recently contacted the divorce courts in Ottawa for information on his divorce papers, only to find out that his "wife" never filed for separation or divorce.

She is currently living with another man in Toronto and they have a child together.

Peter S. would like to obtain a divorce so he can marry my cousin but they live in Europe and he can not come back to Canada because he was deported.

How do they proceed?

What forms does he need to obtain?

Does he need to contact the Canadian Consulate?

How does he get a Canadian lawyer who speaks his language?

Is a simple form 8A enough or does he need something else?
