Difference between revisions of "Newcomers to Canada and Family Law"

If you leave your spouse while the sponsorship application is still in progress, you must inform immigration Canada of this change in your application. Failure to do so constitutes misrepresentation which is a ground for refusal of your Permanent Residence application. At this point, you may not be able to proceed with your sponsorship application for Permanent Residence, but there '''may be''' other options available to you that allow you to stay in canada. This is especially the case if you leave your partner due to abuse in the relationship. I urge you to speak to a lawyer at this point or contact Legal Services Society or other community resources to see if you qualify for a free lawyer.
