Hi! I have few questions running in my mind right now. Three years ago, i got married to a Filipino-Canadian Permanent Resident back home, and a year after, he sponsored me to come to Canada, and I landed Permanent Resident. Even before i came here in canada, i found out a lot of secrets about him that made me feel betrayed, but still, i went on with the marriage hoping to build the trust back as we spend a new life together in Canada. However, in few months of living together with him, he treated me like CRAP. He verbally abuses me, curses me like a mad man, on 2 occasions he became physically aggressive, he doesn't even want me to work, and continue on with my education, he 's never supportive of my well-being. Basically, he just want me to become his SLAVE. After a year of being together, i decided i couldn't take this anymore, so i decided to live separate and apart from him... or else i'll go crazy! He even threatened me that if i go, he will call CIC and tell them that i'm leaving so they can have me deported. But with bravery, I chose to leave, for I know I would lose myself if I'm gonna stay longer.

It's been a year now since the day of our separation, and I started moving on. I'm planning to file for divorce, but I fear that he will insist on calling our marriage as a fraud and push through deporting me.

Do you think he has enough grounds to call this as a fraud? Does he have grounds and power to deport me?

Someone who has landed becomes a permanent resident, a spouse cannot have that person deported.

If an applicant lied during the PR application process or used a marriage of convenience to come to Canada, then removal from Canada is an option.
