Hi I am from the Philippines,

Ive been married to a canadian for two years and I just got my visa last june as he sponsor me. It is so happen that my husband is not willing to be with me anymore and living with someone else. too bad to know this too late. right now he havent talk to me for over two weeks. and get a confirmation to his aunt that he really doesnt want to be with me anymore. but he doesnt want to face me either. Since I got my visa, I still want to go to canada and start a new life. my family lives in ontario where I could stay.

It is just that in the law. I have to stay with him for 2 years. What can I do to still come to canada even we are already parting ways? I just want to move forward and never look back in this nightmare. I do think I have more opportunities in canada so I still want to continue to go there. Is there any exceptions about this?

what I knew was exceptions during the time I get there. which is conditional permanent residency. I wonder if same thing applies before I get there?

PLEASE HELP ME...

if you already landed as a pr, then you are free to come to canada when you want. no one really knows how condition 51 is tracked, and the only way CIC would know about your relationship breakdown is if it is reported by your sponsor or someone else. there may or may not be an investigation by cic. no one can tell you what will happen if you try to come to canada and live your life. someone may report you which can then trigger an investigation. at that point, it would take a while before your PR is revoked. If you already landed as a pr, you have the right to freely enter canada and CBSA can not deny you entry. if you haven't landed yet as a PR, then you can attempt to land. Keep in mind, even though your sponsor is not required to be there when you land, they may ask you questions about your sponsor that may or may not trigger them to refuse to land you. again, no one can tell you what will happen because it's solely dependant on the officer you meet and the questions they ask you.

What you are suggesting if she hasn't landed is immigration fraud. I would refrain from advising people to commit fraud in the future.

This is terrible advice. Do you also advise people to walk out of the supermarket with whatever they want without paying? The laws are there for a reason...respect them.

um actually i'm not advising her to do anything. i'm simply providing facts of the situation and showing what can happen in each situation. a person can decide to do whatever they want with the information given to them. did i say, come to canada and forget about your relationship breaking down? no, i said, here are the options and technically you can do this. i also explained the consequences of each situation. perhaps you need to read again to see the words actually written and not twist the words in your mind into something else entirely so you can troll someone and say they are promoting illegal activity. perhaps when you do that, you will see that i provided facts... not a recommendation as to which choice to make. it's none of my business what choice they make or to cast judgement on someone i don't even know. it's my business to provide the facts that will help someone make an informed decision.

She could try to land and find out if her spouse has already cancelled her sponsorship. If he hasn't, she will likely be allowed to land. If she gives a different address for PR card than her sponsors address, they will ask why. If she gives her sponsors address, he will get her PR card unless she changes the address in between. If her sponsor finds out that she is in Canada, he may report her for breach of condition 51. If he doesn't, it may come up later, for example when she tries to renew her PR card. Condition 51 hasn't been around long enough for these ppl's PR cards to be expiring so nobody really knows what will happen. Maybe they will ask for the sponsors signature stating they lived together or other proof.

I read about a case where a wife was sponsored by a husband. She later divorced him and years later tried to sponsor a new spouse herself. Immigration started looking into her case and found that the first marriage had been a marriage of convenience and stripped her of her PR and sent her packing.

So lesson to be learned, you can try all kinds of things but you will always be looking over your shoulder. If immigration catches your lies, even years later, your PR is gone.
