Hi there!
A kind of weird question. I have got my PR since last May. I arrived to Canada 2 years ago and got married here.

What could happen if I got divorced? (my husband was my sponsor). What's about my status? I have heard that I need to stay at least 3 years in Canada in case I want to save my status.

Thanks

A permanent resident is required to reside in Canada 730 days out of every rolling 5 year period.

If you divorce your sponsor, you may retain your PR status, unless your subsequent actions call into question the validity of the marriage that was the foundation of your sponsorship. If that is the case, you may be referred under Section 44 as someone who gained status via misrepresentation.

Thanks for your feedback!

He is trying to scared me and that's why trying to move from apartment we are renting. The most funny thay I pay for rent and money goes from my bank account.

Guys, sometimes you so stupid.
I do not want to live this apartment because I am paying and feed all family.
