My sister is a Canadian citizen with 2 small kids aged 5 and 2. The kids are also Canadian. She got married in 2010 to a Pakistani citizen and they have been living in Dubai. Her husband has no status in Canada as she never sponsored him for anything. Her husband has escalated violence against her and this week threatened to kill both her and the kids if she leaves. She is genuinely afraid for both her and her children's life.
My question is: if she leaves him and flies back to Canada with the kids, is there anything she can do to prevent him from following her into Canada? Is there anything she can submit to Canadian border services to prevent his entry into Canada permanently (so that any applications for Visa are rejected?). He has a history or violence in Dubai but she has never called the police because she is too afraid for their safety. Also she is suspicious that he may be involved with some radical fundamentalists in Pakistan and he has a history of taking part in religious violence.
Her plan is to file for divorce after she has crossed back into Canada safely. She will then also fight for custody.
I have searched extensively online and so far have not been able to find information regarding this scenario.
Appreciate any help in advance.
