hi there guys! I am experiencing some of the worst moments of my life. I am a Filipina who married a filipino.. we got married and then a year after he went to canada.. a few months later he sponsored be to come as his spouse but both of us are not permanent residents yet... he came here with a job from a big company.. but he won't let me work. now I really need to work because my family needs me to send some money however he's not helping me and he always threatens to send me back to my home country whenever i mention I need to work.

I have an open work permit and a friend is offering me a job but I can't take it because my husband will be mad at me. Now its everyday that we fight even the smallest thing.. we argue about it. I feel like I am caged in the apartment. I feel like a prisoner. I am like his nanny who doesn't receive any salary He doesn't treat me like his wife. He totally changed. I gotta admit i too did change. I can say that I did my part as a wife but I don't get my freedom to work.

I already want to move away from him but I am not sure what to do.. I don't know what could happen to me considering the fact that I got here because he sponsored me as his wife (does that mean that I depend on his status?) I want to take the job that is offered by my friend as a live in care giver and move away from him.

He wants to send me back to the Philippines but I already gave up everything there just to be with him and this is how he treats me. So instead of going back I wanted to make the most out of my situation. Please help me.

Would it be okay if I move away from him and just take the job being offered by my friend as a live in care giver? would he be able to do anything about it? I am worried that he might be able to send me home because of that.. Please i really need your advise.

Thank you!
