    My partner was cheating on me and stayed to get PR. What can I do now?

    You can report him to immigration for marriage fraud if you have proof. However, it's not in your control what they will do about it if anything. There is no 2 year conditional PR anymore for sponsored spouses. It's basically sponsor at your own risk.

    1) She can file for divorce from her ex in Canada as long as she has been living in Canada for at least one year.

    Return to Canada with an infant, a PR husband- can I get child benefits?

    I don't see why you can't take up your residency and get child benefits right away. New PR's can. You would however have to self declare your overseas income for the past couple of years because you haven't been filing taxes in Canada.

    Getting Married before Landing

    It wouldn't have been enough to call CIC and inform them of her new status. She would have had to add her husband and baby to the application as well and could not have landed until she had done that. However, that's water under the bridge. She can not refresh a 13 year old application. As...
