Misrepresentation of marital status in pr application

Law Querier (Querist) 12 May 2012 This query is : Resolved
Marriage sustained and registered in India. Husband and wife both is Indian citizen. Husband is living in India and wife has been living in Canada since 8 years. Wife came to India to marry and went back and planned to sponsor her spouse after she gets PR visa of Canada. Before the marriage, wife’s PR was confirmed. But, there were dispute between Husband and wife on telephone and wife decided to get divorce and filed a divorce petition through made POA to her relative in Family court of India. Now, according to immigration law of Canada, after marriage, a person has to change her marital status from single to Married in his/her PR application of Canada. Now, there is a doubt that wife has misrepresented or not disclosed to visa office of Canada about her marital status in PR application. I.e. she has showed single status instead of married status in her PR application although divorce case is pending in India and she has got PR visa of Canada. The question is if wife is misrepresented about her marital status in PR application of Canada then it is a crime according to Indian legal system? What should husband do legally in this case? Please suggest a good immigration lawyer in Gujarat or other state of India.
