Wife creating problems & i am afraid of not getting my initial PR card! Plz help

[SIT007]

Dear All:

This is SIT here. I am a new landed immigrant in Canada and its been just 18 days i have landed here. I have just received my SIN number only and got a job yesterday. I have come here as a dependant spouse under FSW category and my wife was the principle applicant. Now the problem is after landing my wife is creating problems with me and telling me to divorce her as she doesnt want to continue the relationship any more. For your information we are living separately right after the day we have landed in Canada. We were having some problems since since last july'10 and at that time i didnt want to come with her in Canada. But later on she forced me to do that as she promised me that everything would be fine after coming over here. Then i thought she was telling the truth and go ahead as the Visa Office refused her to issue VISA without me (she claimed 5 points for me under the adaptibility, otherwise she wouldnt have been qualify for 67 points!!) as initially i didnt submit my passport to Visa office but she submitted her own passport and got refused by the Singapore Visa Office. After submitting her passport the Visa Office send her an e-mail stating that they cant issue her Visa alone and they require my passport within the next 30 days otherwise they will close the file. Later on i submitted my passport with the print out of that e-mail and we both have got the VISA within next 15 days. Now after the landing she is giving me pressure to divorce her and also refusing to give me my PR card as the address is her uncles address and i may not get my PR card anyway this time. I am in a mess my friend. Please let me know what can i do now to retain my PR status and my human rights in Canada. She is also threatening me by saying that the law is at her side as she is a woman and she can kick me out by saying anything. I am in need of a urgent help. Please advise me.

You can call CIC at telephone number 1-800-242-2100 to have your PR card to send to elsewhere. You can retain your status by not leaving Canada at least 2 years out in 5 years period.

thanks for the advice. But i am afraid of loosing my PR as i am not the principle applicant here and i am a man!!. Everybody is telling me that i will be in trouble if she accuse me for anything (doesnt matter she tells the truth or not) as the law in Canada is always at the woman's side. And we havent stayed together not even for a single day in Canada after landing. Anyway i will do so as per your advice.

I dont think the law of Canada takes side of any gender. You can change the address for the receipt of your PR card, even in case your wife retains your PR card you can get it reissued. Since you and your wife had already landed, any martial discord will have no effect on the PR status.
As per you, you are not staying with your wife. By alleging any type of allegation/s it will not mean that you will loose PR status or the police will take her side. The investigation here in Canada will be impartial and an innocent person would not be prosecuted just because a women had alleged something. I feel she is just creating pressure on you so tht you agree for a mutual consent divorce. In any case you can not force your spouse to stay with you if she is not willing. I am in toronto, how about a drink together coming weekend. By the way I am straight and the offer is to make you forget the trouble for some hours and have good time.

As I understand it, the moment you are a "landed" permanent resident you cannot lose that status unless you are resident in Canada for less than 2 of the following 5 years, or if you commit a serious crime.

Once you land and have the visa validated you are both full permanent residents and fighting your own battles.

However, the one sticking point may be that you had been having troubles for almost a year before you landed. I am unsure of the legal situation if one or both of you did not intend to stay married after landing, which may be worth finding out about.

She CANNOT do anything to cancel or revoke your PR. Once you landed in Canada, you are no more dependent of her. Both of you are separate permanent residents with equal rights. Stay away from her, if you think she can create trouble for you and call CIC to get your PR card on some other address.

 

[CIO_VisaOfficer]

S.K is right, Don't worry just stay away from your wife, get divorced and call to CIC call center and get your PR card on other address. you will be safe.

 

[belize]

Yes I totally agree, just stay away from her we are man and if wife she treat us like that we can always find another nice beautiful women because seems like your wife she is not right, but if she is right and you are wrong then God will give you punishment and you never gonna be happy in your life, so think twice and do decision, about PR card just call CIC they will send you another one at your address, and nobody revoke your canada PR, if she give you more trouble just tell her that you will inform CIC that you did all drama just to get 5 points and she will understand.. good luck.

It is not very wise of your wife to do this. Because it is easily can be interpreted as fraud. Actually, since her intention of NOT divorcing you BEFORE she got her visa, because she would loose the points hence not being eligible, in order to land and obtain PR is. As soon as you explain your situation to the immigration authorities they will cancel BOTH your PR and send you back home.
First of all she is jeopardizing her status herself. You tell her to get her senses, not to loose her mind over it. She must understand that you both are in it TOGETHER until you divorce.

And as others said, it is actually does not make any sense of her to not give you your PR card, because you can ask CIC to send you a new one to a different address.

I agree with you. Let him try to talk to her and give a few months to settle down before the go for divorce. For real Cic will think it is fraud. It also depends on how the situation looks like. She will also be in problems.

An article from CIC website to guide you on this......
Proposed changes for spousal sponsorships
Wednesday, 30 March 2011 Category Federal Immigration As Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the Government of Canada have noticed an increase in the number of fraudulent marriages, they are proposing changes for the Family Class immigration category, specifically for spousal sponsorships.

Under the Family Class category, Canadian permanent residents and citizens are able to sponsor their spouse or common-law partner (non-Canadian) for Canadian permanent residency. Currently, once a spouse/partner lands in Canada as a permanent resident, they are not obliged to stay with their spouse/partner.

The Government of Canada is proposing to impose a “conditional permanent residence” for non-Canadian spouses or partners who have been in a relationship with their Canadian sponsor for two years or less. The newcomer would have to remain in the relationship with their Canadian sponsor for two years upon their arrival in Canada. If the newcomer decides to leave his/her spouse/partner, the permanent residence status would be revoked, which may result in their removal from Canada.

The second change would impose a “sponsorship bar”. Sponsored spouses or partners would not be able to sponsor a new spouse/partner for at least five years.

The Government of Canada is accepting comments from the public regarding the proposed changes for the next 30 days.

Canadavisa.com will report on any more changes once they have been announced.
