If you have completed an [http://www.ag.gov.bc.ca/courts/forms/pfa/pfa003.pdf '''Application to Obtain an Orderin Provincial Court'''] and asked the judge for a "without notice" order (an immediate court appearance without the abuser in attendance), you will be given a time and date to be in court. At court, the judge will ask you why you want no contact from the abuser. If the judge agrees with you, he or she will make the order until a court date in the future. Be aware that after the without notice order is pronounced, the Family Court will send a copy to your ex.
