These are two different people The one that got the divorce is the one that lives here with his second wife. His first wife did not want anything and the divorce was not contested with no money changing hands

Who's on first. No, What's on first, Who's on second. What happened to wife #1 of the guy who "died" in Miami?

But thanks for bringing up the other one. He is also happy and still single.

You say he is single and happy after getting rid of the fraudulant Dominican wife by dying. This equation is missing something.

You already know what you have to do, but asked if you can get around it.
You must get a certified translation of your divorce settlement. The certified translation has to be done by a translator certified here in the DR. You asked why? The answer is Because. Because they say so.

Also, where can i get this done. I live in hamilton which is close to toronto. Can this be done somewhere here or does it have to be send to somewhere in the dominican for this to be done? Does anyone know ruffly how much this costs?

Also, does this honestly have to be done in order to remarry someone from the dr. If so, why????

Thanks!Susy

Hi Susy,
If possible, why don't you think of getting fiance petition to get him to Canada? Then you could have your wedding in Canada. And file for his residency after the wedding. Then the time you have to wait won't seem so long, because you'll be together. If you have to have the divorce papers translated, it's because they will be reviewed in a Spanish speaking country. If you go that route, I'd consult with the Dominican Consul nearest your home, because they will want to certify the translation any way. Translations can cost $15 to $50 a page roughly.
If Canadian residency is anything like the US, there are letters of good conduct, birth certificates, etc. that will need to be in English (Canadian Consulate) or the like.
Good luck.
By the way, being from Hamilton, would you know if Jonathan Frid is still around? Barnabas Collins was my favorite!

We no longer have a fiance petition in Canada.

It's called Family Class immigration.

Since it's almost impossible to get a fiance to Canada you need to get married first.

And according to what we have in the legal section on DR1 you need to translate the divorce certificate into Spanish not the whole divorce agreement.

You only need to translate the divorce certificate not the entire thing. PM me if you need any help with it. You'll also need a single status declaration in both languages, your long form birth certificate in both languages, and a copy of your passport translated. Check the DR embassy site for Canada as well as www.debbiesdominicantravel.com for additional information.
Congrats,
Nelly
