Oh I am so very lost. It seems not that long ago (2012) I was applying for my common-law sponsorship visa. I got it in 2013. Everything was amazing, we were so happy. Over time, we had some relationship trouble, after a year of arguments we decided to end it. I asked him why was he so unhappy; and he was honest. Brutally honest. He hated me for so long and everything about me. He was verbally abusive and twice physically. I honestly didn't see it coming, I thought we were going to be okay, but I was wrong. I loved the good times of the relationship but it was time for us to end it. He is telling everyone I was with him for a visa, this is completely and utterly false. I think he is just lashing out at me.
I moved out and am barely surviving financially and emotionally. I don't know anyone in this city in Canada, as he and I moved here not long ago. I am so so lost. My employers are being lovely about the situation, but I suspect they are losing patience because I am really awful at my job right now.
I have Permanent residency status, it will be a number of years before I can apply for citizenship, if I want to go for it. Is there any way my now ex-common law spouse can impact my PR status or anything like that? He's still my sponsor but will not give me any money to survive, although he gave me a few hundred dollars when I moved out, that was to buy me out of my share of some household stuff we owned jointly. I have a job, we didn't have children, I can just about afford rent and food. I found information online, that I don't think he can impact my PR status, but I want to make sure. I don't want to go to court to get money from him, and he refused to see a mediator.
I just want to be near my family and friends, leave this lovely country, and go home and cry. I can't do that financially and so I want to make sure if I can stay here, there's no way he will impact my life further - in the immigration sense anyway. After I know that, then I can start to pick up the pieces and heal.
Thank you for listening to my rant.
