Ex keeps pr. What can I do?

[Zangw]

if you want to get a new card in case of stolen, damaged etc you can do it anytime and it will be mailed to the new address which ever you will provide in the application.

So the address doesn't have to be at his place? Is that only 5444 form I need to apply a new card?

It sounds like your real problem is that you are worried that sending the card to a different address will alert CIC that you are not living with your husband, is that correct?

You can either use your home address(where you live with him and he can take it again) or send it to another address. As the others have said, you need to consider doing the following:

1. go back to that police station and get a report to show that you had reported the card stolen(by your husband) even if you don't have proof - use it to get a new card and keep a copy of the report (in case you need it to support your claims against him)

2. document everything he says, sends, does to you - keep emails, photos, etc.

3. you say he is keeping your daughter from you - talk to legal aid or any immigrant settlement agency in your city. They can help you and it will also be proof you use. You may end up having to go to court to work out a custody agreement with him for your child.

4. You are in Canada, men and women are EQUAL under the law. Take care of yourself and remember, you are not helpless or hopeless. Believe in yourself a little more, ask for help(especially from government sources). As Leon suggested, if you have been abused, you may want to mention it to immigration right away.

5. if you are not living together anymore, DO NOT go anywhere with him alone. If you must meet him, do it in a public place (e.g. Tim Hortons, McDonalds, etc) where there are other people. This ensures you are safe at least.

I thought that the PR Card itself is not a big issue. It is required only when you are returning back to Canada from abroad. So, if the OP is living in Canada and continues to stay here, then she should be okay with COPR and other IDs.

After removal of Condition 51, she may apply for the lost card

Can she do this?

PR card is being asked for more and more all the time for all kinds of things these days, even when you are staying in Canada. It can be hard to get a health card, drivers license, even some employers ask for it.

Condition 51 will not be removed unless she either lived with her husband for 2 years after landing which is not the case or she gets out of it in the case he was abusive to her and that is why she left but she needs to prove that to immigration as well. In the meantime, she can just as well try to apply for her lost card now as later. She may get some questions about condition 51 but she would either get them now or if she applies later.

Yes, my dad came to Canada visit and he showed my dad my pr card, but last time I called cop say he keeps my pr card he denied he has it. I'm in condition 51, and he doesn't pay me anything, he keeps my daughter away from me too. Actually he doesn't pay full tax for government, I don't know how to prove that truth to government, to ask him to leave canada

In that case, you should ask the police for a report so you can send it to CIC with your application. If you want him to have trouble with the revenue service, you can report him, see http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/gncy/nvstgtns/lds/menu-eng.html You can however not control if they will follow up on your lead or not. Cheating on his taxes will not get him deported but he will have to pay.

No, the address doesn't have to be at his place. However, as you have condition 51 on your PR card, it is possible that immigration will ask you about cohabiting with your husband, especially since you are providing them a police report where you say that your husband stole your card. If you were abused, you need to tell them that now to attempt to remove condition 51 from your PR. If you were not abused, you will most likely lose your PR due to condition 51 in which case you could delay it by not applying for a replacement card and wait and see if your husband reports you.

It wouldn't hurt to speak to the family courts about him denying you access to your child. It can only strengthen your case by showing your sincerity in resolving the issue through the proper channels.
Good luck, I hope it all works out for you.
