Permanent Resident Status. A situation, please advice.

[Noah_Saaz]

Dear Members,

I need a clarification, my spousal sponsorship application submitted to CIC on September 07, 2012 and transferred to CHC-I on October 23, 2012. It was a wife case. I am in Canada since November 2014. To make a long story short: ever since I got here and started cohabiting with my husband I came to know that he is a patient of schizophrenic & bipolar disorder, suffering from severe anxiety, hallucinations and delusions. He says and do things that are way out of the definition of sanity. I am scared of him.

I recently got admitted in Seneca collage to further my business studies, my husband works but his paychecks are not stable due to his psychiatric condition. All in all, situation is rock hard tough for me here. My question is...

If I intend for divorce, how will it effect my permanent residence status? On my landing papers under the heading of condition is written "none".

Please advice. Thanks

It will not affect your PR status at all. You just need to maintain your residency obligation (reside in Canada 2 out of every 5 years).
