I am posting because I need help. I have sponsored my spouse who recently landed in Canada. My spouse left me a short time ago with no warning. I never knew where my spouse was for days. My in-laws would not tell me. I finally found my spouse because of stroke of luck and found that my spouse had traveled halfway across Canada to stay with some relatives that I was unaware existed. I am now learning that this was a set up. We have children together. I am devastated and so are our children. Some of my in-laws disagree with my spouses actions as well as my family and friends and are insisting I report my spouse to CIC. They want my spouse deported, or at the very least, not under my sponsorship. I know that my spouse lied on the immigration application.
1. did not list relatives that had previously immigrated to Canada.
2. upon PPR, my spouse was ordered to resubmit a new Schedule A form on which my spouse did not admit to an arrest and conviction (fine to pay) that my spouse received in court during the application process.
3. did not update the requested Schedule A with new work history during the application process.

Also since my spouse left, there is a warrant for my spouse's arrest in conjunction with a theft.

What do I do? Are these things that CIC will care about? Does this warrant a deportation?

I am heartbroken and upset of the thought of deporting my spouse and my children's other parent. I also can't believe that someone would bring children into this world just for papers to Canada. Any factual advice is very much appreciated.

If he has landed then all you can do is report it... and then forget about it (as best you can, I'm sure that may actually be impossible). Report all the same details you have here, and then try to move on. If you know his SIN, keep it ready in case he works legally in Canada you're probably eligible for Family Support. Sorry to hear, it's a sponsor's worst nightmare.

dont be emotional and have him/her deported. did you file his/her application before or after the new rules? if before then conditional permanent residence doesn't apply to him/her.

I thought lying on an application was a big problem?

 

[niana.j]

it is and you will have to provide the proof to cic and then wait for them to do something about it. if you sponsored your spouse after the new rules were enacted last year- then your spouse would be getting deported!

MAYBE, he would be. I'm not so sure CIC is going track even half of those down.

no - the new rule doesn't apply even if the sponsorship was started after the new rule came in place, as they have children together.

Nonetheless: report him, with all the facts. Then it's up to CIC to deport him or not. You can only do so much ( and reporting him is of course the biggest part). Lying on an application is an issue, of course, but CIC doesn't really have the means to track down everybody, so you can only hope that they will.

It might not get him deported ( you never know), but it will make it more difficult for him to sponsor anybody into the country in the future, if he ever intends to.

Then - unfortunately there is not much else to do, I hope for your sake that he doesn't go on welfare as you are legally responsible for him for 3 years. Hope you have friends and family around you to support you, and as others have suggested, try and move on, as much as possible. Concentrate on the children, on the life with them in Canada.

Good luck,
Sweden
