Hello everyone how are you all doing???? I need to now what my rights are? I am sponsoring my husband who comes from Budapest Hungary. He just got his landed immigrant status, Oct 25, 2004.. But when he arrived at that time, he only stayed 14 days, and went home for one month and a half, and then came back to canada dec 24, 2004 again 2 months later february 2005, went home to budapest until sept 19 2005. And to top it all off, i wrote an invitation letter for his brother and family to come visit, and needless to say they declared refugee status. In the begining of our relationship we were so much in love, or I was at least, and I think he was too. with me going there two times to budapest, once in sept 2003 and again in feb 2004.as we were separated for a year and a bit. But now he made a complete turn around, he does not want to touch me, look at me, be with me, he wants a separation. Do I give it to him??? Do i contact the canadian immigration office, as a marriage of convience??? As we in reality have not lived together for one full year... Please any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I know I still have to sponsor him until 2007.

Chrissy,
First of all, I´m sorry to hear all this.
But I don´t know ifyou can withdraw your sponsorship, even if you are seperated or divorced.
According to http://www.immigrationfirm.ca/faqfamily.html:
"If you decide to withdraw your sponsorship after the CPC begins processing the application for permanent residence, you will not receive a refund. If CIC has already issued a visa, or your relative or family member has already become a permanent resident, you cannot withdraw your sponsorship; you are obliged to support your relative or family member."

Hi Chrissy,
When you submitted the application to sponsor your husband you signed a contract with the Govt. of Canada that you will support your husband financially for a period of 3 years (from the day he landed in Canada as a PR).
Therefore if you separate (or have a divorce) and he applies for any kind of social assistance you are liable to pay back the Govt.

Hi Friend I am so sorry to hear that bad news, in fact your situation reminds me a very good friend of mine
, who showed his love to a canadian citizen and just after landing he changed, he also had his wife to sponcor his own brother, now they are both in Canada and that man got divorced, I do not think you can do anything about it, but at least try to avoid supporting him forever, (since legally , you have to... ) The realistic option should be having a mutual agreement and getting a divorce...seems he has just used you ...The same way my canadian friend has been used by his ex.... Using love as a tool to enter Canada ....

you have some legal obligations with your husband, divorced or not. I don´t think there is an relief to this situation.
I would be inclined to file for the divorce. You have discovered the lie!
However, for your self respect and healing... you might also want to consider reporting the situation. If your husband came under fraudulent terms, they may revoke his status. They may also pull the pin on his brother.
The biggest concern is that you remain safe and that you regain your personal dignity in this entire mess.
I am sorry this has happened to you. It is not a nice feeling.

They won´t revoke his status , how can you proof that he came under fraudulent terms?
He was accepted as an Immigrant and the fact that the marriage didn´t work out is not a ground for a report 44a.
(deportation order).
Under the category where they applied for his status in Canada he can only be elegible for a deportation order if he is a threat for Canada´s security. Not even if he lied about his education since that is not a relevant information in this category. (family class member).
Divorse is not a crime in this country.
I am sorry about your situation dear, you may take him to court if you want to keep any goods or legal rights but Immigration wise not much you can do.

I am suggesting that she report the situation and then leave the outcome to CIC. they may... or may not be interested in the facts. more important is her self esteem in this situation.

Chrissy,
I am sorry to hear about your situation. I am also appalled at the fact that your husband can just get away with this so easily, agreed that you are legally bound to do whatever the Canadian Govt. wants you to do, but I suggest you should talk to an attorney and get more facts.
I know its hard after being emotionally involved and all, but as a citizen of Canada and looking at what you husband has done, I think its your duty to explore all options and do what you can to help the CIC in preventing such situations from arising in the future.
