Re: pensions
It depends on the Province or Territory; property division is a Provincial, not a Federal, area of jurisdiction. In British Columbia the time limit is generally 2 years after divorce, order for judicial separation or order declaring the marriage null & void. There are exceptions and the inquirer is advised to seek the advice of a lawyer with specific reference to the particular facts of the situation. Answers given here are very general in nature, and specific definitive answers can only be provided giving all the facts to a lawyer consulted for specific advice.
