My wife and I lived in the Middle East for some time. When I lost my job there, she went back to her birth country (Iran) and I came to Canada. (We’re both Canadian citizens.)

Although I’ve found my feet in Canada since I landed (Sep 2017), she has lived separately from me and is planning to do so for another year. For how long can she stay separate without my consent? How can I get divorce if she stays in her country forever. She’s also taken my two kids with her (8 and 12).

 

Thanks for your feedback in advance.
