Dear Friends,
I have been writing in this forum and got some very useful pieces of advice. I really need some good ones for this
My (x) husband and I divorced 2 years ago. After our divorce my husband applied for Canadian immigration and did beg for my help becuase his points alone were not enough. I asked him to withdraw my name immidiately but by different threats he forced me to keep quite and not to reveal our divorce to CIC. Now I am stuck with him and can not move on. I want to withdraw my name and want to inform CIC about all the above.
My question is
If I inform CIC and send them my divorce document, will they inform him that I reported this case? (I don't want this because this wil make my son and my life very difficult) but at the same time I want to save myself from fraud.
Is there any way that I can call to someone in CIC to explain my position? (has anyone done this before)
Thanks
Something you can do is contact the Visa Office by phone, and ask to talk to an Immigration Officer (IO). Without providing any documentation, you can explain to this IO that you do not wish to sponsor your (ex) husband anymore, because he is threatening you and [etc]. The IO, in an informal manner, will put a note in the file of your ex-husband, that all other IO will see when they will come to the processing of his file.
Since the grant of an PR visa is subject to the subjective decision of IO, no Io will grant a PR visa to a man that has a notice like that in his file. Your ex-husband will see his request denied. He will receive a letter saying something like "Sorry, you won't have a PRV from us" on basis like "We don't believe your claims are true and that your marriage is genuine". He will never know you contacted the Visa Office, and it will look to him like the Visa Office are cruel and emotionless, evil persons.
If he tries to reapply, the note will still be in his file and he will most likely never be able to get a visa of any kind to Canada, unless he uses a fake identity.
You have to remember that IO's job in Family Class Sponsorship is to protect you, the sponsor, from any bad-intended applicant. The IO are humans and will clearly understand your situation, since it is their job and they see things like that everyday. So, get a hold on the Visa Office where your ex is applying, call them, ask for the Immigration/Visa department and explain your problem.

Like I explained, just get the Visa Office phone number (browse [see link bellow] to find your Visa Office, click on it and the following page will give you the details of the office, with their phone number) and call them.
A member of my family was in a similar situation than you (no threats, just that she didn't wanted to support the sponsorship anymore), and did like I told you. The IO wrote a note to the guy's file. He was denied his request few months later, and never knew it was because of this.
