Will it impact my ITA ?

[PrAspirant112024]

I came to Canada on work permit 1.5 years back. At that time, I mentioned my spouse name and kid name in my application.Due to some personal issues, we got divorced and spouse took child custody completely and both mother and child are no longer in touch. My spouse and Kid never landed in Canada and they does not have Visitor visa too. I dont have my kid birth certificate even . Recently, I created express entry profile as status as divorced and received ITA. I am yet to update my marital status as divorced in my passport.

Can someone pls suggest how can I handle this ITA ? I have official divorce and custody documents. Should I update my UCI as divorced ?

Update your file with proof of divorce and no custody. Still could be an issue since IRCc does not like children to not be included as part of a PR application.

what if adding dependants lowers the score ? One PR > No PR !

If you can get your ex-spouse's cooperation, the child can be included as non-accompanying.
I believe that won't affect your score.

Would suggest contacting your ex to start the discussion about including your child on the application as non-accompanying. Attempting to not include your child will likely increase processing time and IRCC typically wants to show that you have exhausted all efforts to include a child on a PR application. I would also start collecting the child’s information. They’ll also have to do a medical which I would offer to pay for. You can tell your ex that this will open up possibilities for your child when they get older if they may want to study or work abroad up to age 22.

Is birth certificate required ? No cooperation from ex spouse

You will need more than just the birth certificate. Your child need to go through medical exam.
If your ex isn't cooperating, you can consider to declare to not include your child in your PR application (there is a form but I don't remember the form number). And with this decision, you will NEVER be able to sponsor your child.

You will need to collect proof of your attempts to contact your ex spouse and the refusal of cooperation.
IRCC usually don't like this. And you will need to fight to get this through.
