Hi,

I have a confession. I havn't made the smartest of decisions in my life.

I was 18 and dumb in US when i decided I found the right girl for me and we ran away and got married... she filed for my papers but the cracks grew stronger as we didn't find support in her family (we werent financially stable either) and we had to eventually separate and abandon the immigration process

When I was 26, Again, i thought i found the right woman for me and this time we got married with parents consent and she filed for me my papers. our marriage was rocky after a few months and led to eventual divorce- and abandonment of the GC process. I grew frustrated with my luck in US and decided to just abandon everything and start afresh elsewhere.

I moved to Canada and am working towards my PR. when I came here on my student visa, I was asked to indicate ex -spouse if any to which I honestly mentioned my most recent, the second one. There is only room for 1 so i don't believe I hid anything. My parents are now in the process of finding a suitable match for me... and with my luck ive resigned to the fact that their judgement is better than mine.

The girl I plan to marry knows about my second marriage and divorce and has come around to accepting it. I havn't told her about my first marriage as I do not want to let a signature define me, I did tell her about the affair though.

What I'm worried about is... when the interview for sponsoring her should come up at the Canadian Embassy, would they be aware of my first marriage in US and can it be brought up since they run biometric checks? If US and Canada share any of that information I'm not quite sure what my best course is..

please advise

My understanding is that marriage records are mostly public in the US. There are commercial services that collect that information from state and county governments all over the country, and make it available on the internet for a fee. So if CIC looks you up in a database like that, they might find the information. I don't know whether they would usually do that.
 
Did you legally divorce or annul your fist marriage?
