If your spouse does not respond, you may proceed with an uncontested divorce. 

In Ontario, once you serve your spouse with the divorce application, they have 30 days to respond if they are in Canada (60 days if they are outside the country). If your spouse fails to respond within this timeframe, you can continue with the divorce as uncontested. This means you can request a divorce order without needing a court appearance for disputes, simplifying the process significantly.
