You keep asking the same question, and several people have advised you that no, you cannot be deported by your wife. Only if you lied (called misrepresentation) in your PR application can you be deported.

So, if you did not lie, rest easy. If your wife really has a lawyer who says you can be deported just because your wife dislikes you now, then he or she is simply wrong. Ask your wife to get the lawyer to put the threat in writing, then complain to the provincial legal association that the lawyer is either incompetent (does not know the Law) or unethical (knows the Law, but is telling your wife what she wants to hear to increase the size of the legal bill).

She cannot get you deported. You have your PR card already. If you two break up 6 months after you landed in Canada, it does not look like a marriage of convenience anyway. At least it will not look like a marriage of convenience to the Canadian government enough for them to try to deport you. She can report you to Canada Border Services and CIC and state that you married her just to come to Canada, but if she cannot prove this, the government will do nothing. Most of the time, the gov't does nothing even when the sponsor can prove it was a marriage of convenience - for example, there have been cases where the applicant came to Canada and left the sponsor the first day, and the gov't did nothing.

You will need a lawyer to help you with the divorce. Get a job, find your own place, and try to get on with your life. If you can't find a job, you can apply for welfare, and your wife will have to pay the government this money back.

(However, if your wife does have any evidence that you lied on your PR application, she can tell CIC, and they will try to deport you. But as long as everything with the application was OK, you should be fine.)


Hi everybody ....

Thank's to all members for those informations that help me a lot to understand how it works ..
But ,what if the sponsor who lied ? ( who sponsored me to Canada ) , so i'll be deported ? i'm in Canada for 8 months now , and work ... ?

Did your sponsor lie on the application? If that is what you mean, then if CIC found out about it and the lie was about something serious, the government might try to deport you. Usually, though, once you have the PR the government does not investigate any more, unless the sponsor complains to them about the applicant - such as saying the applicant ran away after two weeks in Canada or something like that.

For the government to investigate a complaint by a sponsor, the sponsor will need proof.

I think if your sponsor lied on the application, and now wants to get you deported and is willing to admit he lied on the application, if the government decides to try to deport you because he was ineligible as a sponsor (and it would have to be a lie that covered up something serious enough to make him ineligible to sponsor), then you could appeal basing your case on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

In other words, I don't think he will be able to get you deported just because he lied.

Its time to move on and worry about yourself, and make yourself happy!!! If she's moved on then look at it that its her loss. She's not worried about what you are doing or if you are happy or not so its time you do the same!

People have already told you that once you are a permanent resident that she can't deport you.if she want to say it was a fraudulent marriage then she could get in trouble for it as well. So I really think you have nothing to worry about.
