  Odd situation to be in:

Two years ago I sponsored my common-law husband to come from England to Canada. Without approval, he decided to come in June 08 and received a temporary resident permit valid until Feb 2010.

In June 2009 - he was arrested after a serious altercation in our home. He was charged with 3 counts of assault and will be pleading guilty to two counts on Jan 14. (The victim was me)

His original application was denied in November 2008 - we began the appeal process, and before we heard anything on that - he had been arrested.

I have since received appeal paperwork from Immigration. Now, I had been doing all that I could to assist him in the legal troubles from the assault - however found out that he has actually been living with another woman in a nearby town since September 2009 (found out via anon email end of November 2009).

I have no contact with him at this time and plan on withdrawing the appeal.

My question is - Will he be deported from Canada once I withdraw the appeal, and will he ever be allowed back into Canada again?

Thanks all!

if he has a criminal record - no. if someone sponsors him and he is approved (and has no criminal record) yes, it is possible.

I am assuming you are concerned for your safety. perhaps consider leaving the appeal as it stands but enter the information you have shared into evidence so Canada is the one that turns him down - not you.

alternately, you may want to find a different address or at least alert police to what your situation might be and ask for their advice.

Thanks Sharon -

I received a document today actually from Immigration Canada regarding the Sponsorship Appeal. They have requested information to be submitted by Jan 21. I´m summarizing that your suggestion is to advise Immigration Canada of the charges (and pending convictions) against him instead of withdrawing the appeal?

My concern is primarily for safety...but the local police have been less than helpful. When I was advised he was residing somewhere other than his surety (bail condition) - the police didn´t do anything about it at all. While I don´t have his current address, I do know the name of the woman he is residing with (and am very concerned she doesn´t know ANY of the real history and is also subject to potential abuse).

The reason we had to appeal is because of a minor record in England.

I was hoping that a combination of the two records would actually prevent him from being allowed back in the country?

What will happen when his temp via expires in February?

Thanks so much!

Leigh, you should write to the Immigration Appeal Division and CIC to let them know you are withdrawing your sponsorship / appeal. At least you have done your part.

I understand that the sugar and spice and everything nice sex must be protected but something is illogical here.

Okay a man says the man is innocent until proven guilty.

wow VENOM!

WHY has Leigh behaved the way she has?????

Couple has a loving passionate relationship for more then a ________ and gets married in early 2008 or earlier.

Loving husband can not bear to be apart from his bride and jumps on a plane in JUNE 2008 to be with her. How sweet, how romantic.

WHY WOULD CIC/CBSA ISSUE A TEMPORARY RESIDENT PERMIT FOR 32 MONTHS TO ANY FOREIGNER?????? THIRTY TWO MONTHS how long does it take to process an overseas spousal application?

Sponsorship application was denied in November of 2008 but they live on as a lovingly married couple.

Loving (Sponsor) wife files a spousal appeal!!!!

Couple lives as husband and wife for a year and a half and then a domestic is alleged (unproven) to happen.

Apparently the husband moves out and the wife does..........? NOTHING!

This is where my compassion goes out the window.

Now we all interpret things ourselves but Leigh said it was a "a serious altercation"!

So for six months (June 2009 until January 2010) Leigh who knew she still had signed an undertaking of assistance to sponsor her husband and had filed a spousal appeal never contacted Immigration/CBSA/IAD to get her out of any legal obligations!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not?

"a serious altercation" SHE MUST HAVE FEARED FOR HER SAFETY!

Come on Sharon.

Then she comes back looking like a perfect little angel and says "My concern is primarily for safety" LOL, LOL

At that second any partner who hit another partner with a golf club, fist, etc. it is WRONG. Any assistance I was providing I would eliminate faster then I could blink but why didn´t Leigh????

Seems they stayed in touch because the (accused and not convicted) BAD BOY is going to plead guilty to two charges out of the three laid against him for this alleged incident.

Now (another woman surfaces) and the VENOM appears.

Seems Leigh did not contact CIC/CBSA/IAD but the local police to complain about where the Violent Man was residing. Hmmmmmm

The local police could care less because maybe he is innocent and has not violated any conditions of his bail!!!

Leigh knows the name of the woman her former lover is residing with but does not know how to contact the Immigration Appeal Division to cancel the appeal.

Leigh knows the name of the woman her former lover is residing with but does not know how to contact Immigration to cancel her Spousal sponsorship.

Come on Ladies.

Leigh is concerned (choke, choke, choke) for the current Lady residing with her Husband.

Husband had a previous (minor) conviction and that was the reason for the spousal refusal. Let us add some more to this former loving husband shall we put horns on his head or give him a Hitler mustache?

I could be wrong but......I believe that Leigh only now wants revenge because her Husband is residing with another woman and has moved on and left her behind.

In any relationship it takes two to fight and the blame has to be shared to some degree by both.

Can you ladies not tell me that a millionaire model did not know that Tiger Woods married her for her looks, money etc.? That an intelligent RICH woman who was a model did not know that men chased after her not because she could carry on a conversation in a wide variety of topics.

Tiger´s wife should of kept him on a shorter leash and yes Ladies he can not be excused. Giving out his cell phone number to his main phone so they can text him shows that long before the incident Tiger could care less if his wife knew.

Tiger is an idiot with his money he could afford a second phone for his bimbos to be kept in his golf bag.

Leigh is only now out for revenge because there is another woman in the picture. Fears for the other womans safety! Yeah right.

Presumptions (in reply to: Appeal)
First of all - we aren´t married.
Second of all - even though the altercation was serious, I worked with the Police, the Crown Attorney and his immigration lawyer to mitigate the charges any way I could. I did not bring the charges against him, nor did I even call the police in the first place.

Next - my common-law spouse CONTINUED a relationship with me, while UNBENOWNST to me, he was actually LIVING with another WOMAN instead of his surety. The OTHER WOMAN told me this, which is why I know her name and nothing more.

I was advised by the Crown Attorney initially to NOT ADVISE immigration as I was still believing that he and I would end up together and doing so would jeapordize his application.....so I didn´t. But, obviously I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS LIVING WITH ANOTHER WOMAN. I only found this out LAST MONTH.

btw - HE HAS CHOSEN HIMSELF TO PLEAD GUILTY TO THE CHARGES - AND WILL BE SENTENCED ON JAN 14. I believe this makes the "unproven allegation" thing out of the water.

Please - before you spit off nasty responses to people, understand the circumstance and don´t ASSUME anything to be fact when it hasn´t even been stated.

Did I mention Tiger Woods - or is that entirely yours??

Sorry (in reply to: Appeal)
I´m sorry I even posted here for a suggestion now. Roy - you really outta attend some compassion classes, because honestly, you know NOTHING about the cycle of abuse and the impact that this has on someone.

Forum Rules (in reply to: Appeal)
2. Be respectful of other people when posting on the message board!

Is this a rule for this message board??? I believe so since I copied it from your rules page.....any chance you know HOW TO BE RESPECTFUL Roy? You haven´t a clue what I want or need - and seriously, revenge isn´t it!

Empathy, compassion and some helpful advise is why I came here - if I wanted bashing like you gave me Roy - I´d just call HIS PARENTS.

Leigh, we get lots of stories on this forum that are truthful and then there are some that don´t smell right. Sometimes I take them at face value, sometimes I don´t. Roy is no different.

When you post on a forum such as this, you take the risk of getting a response that does not suite you. If you are being truthful, you had your comments to work with. If you are not... your story has been shot full of holes.

if you are only for one type of response, a public forum is not the safest way to get assistance.

I would get some advice from the police and a lawyer.

Understood....but.... (in reply to: Appeal)
Roy should not be casting allegations on anyone when he can´t even compute that June 09 to Jan 10 is 6 months, not a year and a half.

I asked - will he get deported and what would happen when his Visa expires next month?

I didn´t get answer regarding the VISA at all.....I just got bashed for the personal decisions I made - which honestly - I´ve bashed myself up enough for at this point. Hey, if I had of been bashed by a member of the public, that would be one thing - I can expect that in a public forum....but to have someone known for their credentials and advise jumpt to erroneous conclusions and treat them as fact, that´s another thing entirely.

I´ve been working with the crown attorney closely on this and was advised to seek some advice regarding the immigration appeal since things have changed dramatically from June to now, and it isn´t her specialty. I only just received the immigration paperwork this week and, NOW I HAVE all the information am trying to act responsibly. Roy´s statements were less than helpful and really weren´t warranted or even in the slightest bit correct. And honestly, my life has NOTHING TO DO with Tiger Woods....

Basically if you don´t provide the information that was requested by CIC, the appeal will be dropped and the file with his application for permanent residence will be closed.

There is more in the process that "just" information. You should contact CIC with your file number and inform them that the relationship is over and you have no interest in appealing the case. Keep it short and don´t make it personal. Try to keep any feelings out of the letter. Also mantion that you are unable to locate him. Do not mention that he is living with another woman etc.... again keep the feelings out.

And for Roy,
I read people for living and you think that you can figure someone´s life with just a post?
Give me a break.
What did you learn when you worked at the detention centre?
