Fraud by Spouse for getting PR

[Sim will]

Need urgent help as I am not getting clue what should I do or what I can do in my situation.

We got family PR, where I was the primary applicant and my husband and son got PR through me only.

My husband got job first and came to Canada, left in home country saying that he will call us soon. After some months when I asked about to call me and my son, he denied and said he has no interest in shifting us to Canada. Also he carried my and son’s PR card as well, so that we cannot travel.

After 1.5 years when there was no news I took one time entry and visited Canada to meet him. Initially he denied to meet and then he agreed and came to meet me. But he met me in the market and denied to bring me his home.

I told him at least think for our son and think about family. He told that he want to do any talk in home country only. So he made me agreed to go back and I had to come back as I left my son with my parents.

Then I decided to apply for duplicate PR card, as my husband denied it to give back. Rather he asked me to give divorce on skype, as per new rule for NRI.

I arranged my duplicate PR card with all the hardships being alone with the baby back home and again travelled to Canada and called him, even though till now he did not even provide his address to me. I told him that I am ready for divorce, but please bring my baby as he captured our PR cards, and due to that, I could not take my baby with me. I told him that I cannot live without my child and can’t bring him here myself due to not having his PR card and passport. Then suddenly he changed his minds and said, he doesn’t want divorce he thinks good for the family. So again he asked me to go back home country and assured that he will give the PR cards to me. But this time I denied to go back and asked him to bring the baby here in Canada.

He went and brought the baby in Canada. It’s more than one year now and we are living together, but I just got to know that he silently applied for Citizenship and want to run away abandoning me and the child. Also he has extra marital affairs which I just got to know. He was talking over the call that he is just waiting to get his citizenship and then he will abandon us and teach me the lesson for shifting to Canada without his consent. Luckily I got to know about his conversations, for which he is not aware that I know.

Really don’t know what I can actually do in this case after 8 years of marriage, where my husband just used me for getting his PR and now behaving nice, just to get his citizenship time over. I am really scared that what will happen once he will leave us again. But living with him again hell due to his bad and extremely controlling behavior with me and my son. Till now I made all efforts to make this family as I thought that my son needs a father and he should get a family. But these kind of act and betrayal by husband is tearing me apart from inside.

Can I stop his citizenship in anyway please suggest before it’s too late…as he is with the family just to get his citizenship showing him as a nice person.

You can't stop his citizenship.You really can't impact his status in Canada in any way (either PR or citizenship).

What you should do is protect yourself financially and also make sure you get custody of your child. Assuming you don't see a future with your husband, hire a family lawyer to help you through a divorce, make sure you get the assets and support you deserve, and also help you with any child custody issues. That's really the most you can do and the best action you can take.

I am study for a short course so that I can get a job.
He had not bought any asset intentionally, so that he should not have to pay anything. Rather he left his job and keep forcing me to start a job. So its me who does all the household and raising my son.
Also he transfer all his money to his sister just to show he has nothing in his account as asset, though he is a rich person

Unfortunately there's no rule against abusive people becoming citizens, though of course I hope you realize by now he's not allowed to control where you live or when you're allowed to enter and leave Canada. He's not allowed to hold your PR card and keep you from having it. The best thing you can do at this point is find a divorce lawyer and remove his access to any of your money.

You still need a family lawyer. You want to protect your assets from him and you'll need to short out custody of your child.

Again, you can't take away PR from your husband or prevent him from getting citizenship. He's allowed to apply for citizenship whether he tells you about it or does it secretly.

He does not support me anyway, rather for my school or study fee or clothing too. He also taken my all money back home and sold the house for which he forced me to pay house loan and he did all this without informing me, so I am not left with much money. Just that I am supporting me with studies before joining job

Again, you need a family immigration lawyer. These aren't immigration matters.

Also he transfer all his money to his sister just to show he has nothing in his account as asset, though he is a rich person

I suggest you find proof of his income on paper (copy of his pay stub or source of income). Find as much proof you can about his rich lifestyle (he must drive a nice car, etc.)
Then if you are not working, apply for legal aid and get a Family Law lawyer and apply for a Motion for Child Support. The more you can prove in court his income, the more you get % child support.
He will pay CS until your son has graduated university. You can apply also for Retro-active child support from the day your son was born, which means tens of thousands of dollars.
If he refuses to honor the CS, his driver's license, his passport will be seized and eventually he will just go to jail. You can also add in the Motion for Alimony pay but that is not required by law so is up to the judge, but after 8 years of marriage you could be awarded Alimony as well.
ACT NOW! and good luck
P.S. do not believe any of his promises or crying back - this is well known tactics.
I am very experienced in these matter, so I'm giving you this free advice which normally will cost money to get.

Think you are promsing too much. There is no guarantee that this woman will be granted support or alimony. It actually sounds like she has been the one providing financially and I'm not sure why you think he is living a luxurious life. I would prioritize getting a divorce as quickly as possible so OP can move on with her life and prioritize getting full custody of your child. This is Canada, fathers are awarded primary or equal custody and I know many women who are having to pay alimony to their ex-husband. Child support payments are really based on your income so some parents pay very little. If mediation is possible I would encourage that since it is usually faster and less expensive. Legal aid has limitted budgets so getting legal aid isn't guaranteed. Would suggest OP focus on moving ahead and forget about the past. It is very unlikely that she will be compensated for money that has been spent during the marriage. In divorces you have to prioritize what is important. Sounds like child custody is most important.

I am sorry for your situation but stay strong. You will get through this. He will get what he deserves in another way. Just concentrate on your life now and get rid off him.

thanks so much for the suggestion.

Everything he transferred in his sister's name and he just had a new brand car. every month he takes money from sister, showing that he borrow money for grocery things.
Going for family lawyer will be expensive for me as currently I am not working. But he will run away from here then I don't know what should I do.
he will not pay CS, as he says he is not working. He always fights for child support money as well, showing that he is on road with no job, though he is rich person here and back home.
-What best I can do or steps I can take before he leaves Canada, so that he will be bound to pay CS. I know he will not pay me any support. few people say there is no point of doing anything now and also if I file divorce, it will be costly and I will loose my son too. I am really not sure how much is true. I feel like I am trapped and there is no way for me..
-Also can I file complain against his acts of taking the property and money back home, being in Canada?

I am not working yet, and I heard here in Canada if the parent who is not working will not get custody of the child, but here he has also left his job from the time me and my son reached here, he gives us grocery and he says this is what he has.
So in this case joining a job is very important, so that custody of my son will not be impacted.
- spouse support, he will avoid, but will I get child support, because he is also not working?
- Can I report what he has done with me, in home country
- Can I complain against him for stopping me to come to Canada, being Permanent resident? is there any case for this. Will this impact his citizenship by this compain?

Few people shared there experience that divorce lawyer takes high money and they let you hang for long time. Currently I have no job, so I cant afford to hire a lawyer. Whatever saving I had I spent for my study and supporting my self in Canada. whatever assets and money I had, he sold and transferred
