hello
A college friend of mine from India had married a boy in 2012 who did his masters in Canada and applied for PR under the SWP category. he and my friend got their PR finalized.In order to stamp the PR visa both passports were required so my friend travelled on a visit visa to Canada for the PR visa to be stamped
She arrived in July 2013 but since she came they did not get along with each other and quarrel almost everyday
the situation now is that the husband who was the principal applicant have landed but my friend hasn't landed yet
verbal fights were a daily routine b/w them but this never involved any physical violence or etc but last Saturday when they had a verbal fight my friend called 911 and the police came and took my friend with them and dropped her at one of their relatives after this my friend's husband has decided to divorce her and as far as today their is no chance of patch up
my question and concern is that since she is an innocent indian girl what can she do
1- since she is on a visit visa and has no permanent status and haven't landed yet what rights can she exercise (the husband landed after he have decided to divorce and he has informed cic officials of the divorce)
2- is the husband liable to bear expenses (be it legal or etc) in the event of divorce
3-can she claim domestic violence on basis of mere verbal quarrel (and can the husband also claim domestic violence on the basisi of quarrel because it was mutual quarrels)
4-since they are fighting from the first day she came will that impact my friend's case in any manner can it be treated as immigration fraud because it is what the husband is threatening of as the fight started from the first day)
5- what rights do a non citizen have in this regards
she and I both are really worried
looking forward to answers from respected experienced members
thanks
