Yes there are provisions to protect the sponsored applicant (women and men) from abuse by their sponsor. There has been already one applicant who left his wife but won his appeal to remain in Canada because of verbal and mental abuse.basketballfan said:"Granting immediate permanent residency to new spouses entering Canada, rather than imposing a two-year conditional status that puts spouses – often women – in a position of extreme vulnerability."
I think the plans looks very good - although I'll read more in depth after work. As for conditional PR - I think it is true that some women's husbands threaten them to make them lose their conditional PR (i.e., report to CIC) - I've seen some women posting questions here about that however I am not sure how common that is and conditional PR definitely protects against fraud. I thought there were some provisions for conditional PRs who suffer abuse to be able to leave their partners and remain in Canada. Perhaps similar provisions should be put in place for other vulnerable women threatened by their husbands rather than getting ride of conditional PR all together.
