bad situation (in reply to: Getting a separation - Advice)
no woman should ever feel afraid. There are places you can go to feel safe and there are people that will help you where you live. Where are you living? perhaps our forum visitors might know where you can find good help and services. I have no idea how this might impact your immigration. I am very sad for your situation. Please take care. If your husband is violent towards you, leave the house or call the police (911) they will come and they will help you. In Canada violence against women is not acceptable behaviour.

I too feel very concerned for you. You are very brave. Unfortunately, I do not understand the implications of a divorce or separation from your sponsor in regards to your permanent residency status. I just went to the CIC web site and could not find an answer. I would be disgusted if your rights as a permanent resident would be adversely affected in the event that you leave an abusive relationship. As the person above said, call 911 if you are need of urgent help. There are community organisations in every city that can offer you shelter and legal advice. What city do you live in? There are many people here that can help you.

Generally, once a person has permanent resident status (and has arrived in Canada), he or she is not obliged to continue a relationship with a spousal sponsor. In other words, separation or divorce is not grounds for loss of permanent residence status.

Thank you for the replies! (in reply to: Getting a separation - Advice)
I really do appreciate the response i got from all of you! Well, i live in Ottawa and since i got here with my daughter, we were not really happy. The fact how he treated me and my daughter. He is not physically abusing me but i am mentally and emotionally drained of his complaining and also he swears too infront of my daughter. I just want to get the heck out of here. The one thing im scared of is i dont have the cash to get started. He actually paid for my school for this fall and when i told him that im leaving him he always tells me that he will withdraw my school and that he will do something nasty. I really dont know where to go or who to approach in this. Anyways, for the responses...thanks again and God Bless you all!

Hi Maria (in reply to: Getting a separation - Advice)
I think you are in a difficult situation but the only one person can help you is yourself. If you are alredy allowed to work, find a job and save some money and dump him immediatly. If you want to continue your school, is better you find a way to pay your own tuition, because people like your husband try to take advantage of your situation.
It´s been said too much about people who want to immigrate to Canada and they use canadians to get into the country, but also I´ve seen many cases in which canadians use immigrants because they can´t use manipulation with another canadian, so they go to third world countries "to find love".
I am not saying this is your situation, but it looks pretty much like he thinks he owns you and he is taking advantage of you because you don´t know laws very well.
I wish you good luck..
