hi bushra
sorry to hear that, i think you should wait for a right suggestion from any experienced member and you should contact any good lawyer in pakistan. i am not sure about pakistan but we have this law in (punjab)India for sure, if any girl is having same problems as you mentioned, indian govt. will file a case against canadian husband and he will have to take his wife to canada or live in India with wife and he will have to pay all expenses even for court cases. if he was not interested, he should have told you before marriage. i think his family forced him to get married in pakistan and he refused after returning to Canada. you can try to contact canada high commission in Islamabad and tell them if they dont contact your husband on your behalf, you will contact media. hope you get some good suggestions to bring your life back on track
good luck and keep posting here

The problem is no one can force your husband to sponsor you to Canada. If he does not want to sponsor you, he does not have to. In fact, with the way your relationship has progressed, even if he did sponsor you I think the visa officer would deny the application because the marriage is not genuine.

You might have some rights to compensation or support in Pakistan, however, so I suggest you contact a lawyer about your case.

It sounds like the marriage was arranged, was it? If so then I think I would also get the families involved since in the end I think they would have more influence than the courts.

hi bushra, i hope its not to late for a reply.

I am canadian and have legal experience, first, I am sorry to hear of your situation.

If he has not contacted you, and avoids your calls, chances are he does not want to be married to you,

1- you cannot force him to give you sponsor ship
2- support... he is only liable to support you if he sponsored you and he did not.
3 according to candian law, if he is separtated from you and wants no contact, then he is not liable to support you.
4- if you file for a divoce through canada you can ask for support but.. it will only be equal to what he was supporting you with prior.. and he was not so 0 = 0
5- if there is a possibility that he has a wife in canada already, canadas laws state that his marriage to you would not be legal and thus technically you would not even be his wife so even divorce would not be an option..

my advice, talk to his family see if there is any chance to work it out, if not and if he wants nothing to do with you.. seek peace in gos, for god knows whats best and sometimes god give harder trials to the best of people for the better rewards after.. take care and have peace

I'm curious, if it turned out to be reason #5, then would there be recourse in a law suit? Since he committed bigamy which is a crime in Canada (and in most, but not all instances in Pakistan) then he fraudulently entered into a marriage. Could there be compensation for the victim for pain and suffering, etc?

no....probably not and the legal costs to even attempt obtaining that would far outweigh what one might get for damages.....the only satisfaction one might have is if they charge him with bigamy and he does jail time...but probably not......unless he makes a habit of this......
