This is really bad news. My condolences.

There was another thread a few days ago with a similar situation as yours. Food for thought for those thinking of leaving their spouses while setting things up from afar.

Re: A test to far
 

Obviously from the above posts you were going through Spousal sponsorship. I presume this was under the Family Class not In Canada Class? What stage did it get to? Did you get the Sponsorship portion of the application get approved yet?

Ignoring all of the other stuff above for a moment, if your husband agreed to continue with the application then there is nothing to stop you proceeding with the application as normal. Providing you had not been seperated for at least a year and one of you hadn't entered into a new common-law relationship then you wouldnt become ineligible to proceed with the application according to the rules as far as I can tell.

If your husband didnt want to co-operate the circumstances are a bit different. If the sponsorship part of the application hasnt yet been processed there is nothing to stop him withdrawing it and the application is therefore dead. If the sponsorship portion was approved then I'm not sure if its still possible for him to withdraw it - he would already have made the Undertaking that goes with this part and you would have both signed the Sponsorship Agreement so it could be that this cannot be retracted but I'm not sure. If I can find out anything about this I'll let you know.

According to the CIC website it looks as though a Sponsorship application can be withdrawn at any stage prior to PR visas being issued. There is nothing in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act or Regulations that deals specifically with an application being withdrawn after the sponsorship is approved as far as I can tell but if CIC's internal policy is as above then that is obviously what they will follow.

You say you have no support network if you move here well how many replies have you had so far to this post? Thats quite a support network me thinks!!!

And i bet where you would be going you would make friends very easily!!

Get here and try to make a go of it and if it does not work out and you want to stay i guess you would be entitled to stay. You could easily get a job, apartment etc and he would have to support you also plus by being here you would soon know if he was F*****G :curse: someone as you put it. It's easy to say on a phone the things he has said whilst doing the above.

If all else fails it's only a flight back.

Give it a go and who knows coming to Canada may be the best thing you have ever done with or without him.

;)

I don't think any of this would be easy, jobs, friends, etc. Replies from posts on here are supportive, but spread over 7,000 miles how much use would we be in reality?

Just wanted to send some hugs:wub:

Was doing a search on "furniture" to find a thread I fell on the other day but can't find again and fell on this sad tale.

First off, so so sorry to hear about this - big virtual hugs!

Second off, what do *you* want to do? Do you want to live in Canada, alone or otherwise? If the answer is yes, then go for it and deal with whatever happens afterwards.

If there's a lot of doubt then I personally wouldn't bother. Call me harsh but if my guy did this to me, and I wasn't that bothered about moving then that'd be the end. If he really felt the marriage wasn't strong enough but hadn't bothered to do anything about it before, then he obviously wouldn't want to put any effort in, so that'd be that for me really. It takes two to make a good marriage.... and who knows where life could take you next, you may even find a great guy with whom you'd be very happy!:thumbsup:

Hope you manage to find the right way forward!
