While it may feel wrong to you to separate an infant from its mother there isn't a shred of actual truth nor any science or legitimate study that would agree with your statement. Your take is utterly wrong.
Abandoned PLEASE HELP!!!!

Just Google it. A court will not separate a 1 year old baby from its mother for visitation, even for half an hour. When the child is 3 years old, they let father take child overnight, but weekends not recommended still. Good luck trying to explain science to a judge lol
I have googled it and I do not see that information.
But for the OP: ignore internet prognosticators of doom and gloom - not because they're always wrong but because it may not include useful advice. See an expert - lawyers and family specialists - and do not rely on internet pundits (including Phalos, but also including me).
The one piece I will add to this: it is greatly in your interests and that of your spouse and daughter to attempt to take steps to resolve and come to s-called amicable agreements before court. Court is costly and can be unpredictable. There are resources including mediation/arbitration (which in some cases may be required before going to full family court). It is almost always preferable to come to or at least attempt to resolve the situation 'by agreement.' (In some cases that may involve the court approving agreements beforehand, but that will be less risky than adversarial decisions by the court)
Again, speak to a lawyer. I suspect a lawyer will also tell you to keep meticulous and well-organised notes about what happened, when, and your interactions with your spouse and (her) family. When possible have neutral parties present to also know what was said and what happened (so that there is some third-party evidence/witness).
Important: this is an immigration forum, public, free. Don't rely on family law matters here (including my comments). You need proper counsel.

I would not leave. If she did not withdrawal, you can say you feel like you might be reconciled. After you land, she is responsible for your care. I talked to a lawyer a few years ago and he said that going across the border about custody/visitation is pointless because each government is going to say they can't uphold what the other government puts in place. If you leave you have little to stand on. I'd check with some churches and family to see if you can get some help until your OWP goes through.

My sister was locked up by police after defending herself from her abusive baby father when the baby was only 1 week old.
He lied and said she attacked him for no reason because he was bleeding after trying to defend herself from getting beat.
I beg to differ.
So sad to hear about your sister's story. Hope she's OK now.
I don't think anyone can be "excused" from being locked up just because she has a young child. Arrangement can be made.
If the couple is no longer together the wife has the obligation to inform IRCC. I would assume that OP is unlikely to land. If both parents agree to a custody agreement in Canada there is no problem. Problems arise when a parent files for custody in their country and the other applies for custody in their country. You can still negotiate custody in Canada while living in the US. OP doesn’t seem to have any funds so I don’t think it sounds that OP is in a position where he can live for months to years waiting to hear about something like an H&C or hire a family lawyer without being able to work. Cornwall is near the US border so you can have shared custody or visitation while living another city
Lots of mothers of young children don‘t have custody of their children or have shared custody. Some fathers take a year off for paternity leave while the mother returns to work. This is Canada where men and women are expected to both be responsible for raising children.
No different than if couples are together and the mother goes away for the weekend. If a baby is breastfed and the mother is not available she will try to make arrangements to ensure her child has breast milk available if possible. Adults prioritize their children’s needs.
This is up to arrangement. The baby could be on formula or pre-pumped milk. It's pretty normal if mother cannot be right there all the time.
OP's daughter is over a year old now, so likely she can eat other food.
Yes, in an ideal situation. Not when the mother displays hostility towards father.
Mothers (and all parents) are usually more concerned about their child getting fed even if they are not on great terms with their (ex) partner.
