Man holding his families Passports in Canada to deny their entry

He will not have to pay for her social assistance if she is on his PR application from the start and not being sponsored after the fact but if she divorces him, it is possible that he has to pay her alimony as well as child support.

It is very likely that he will try everything to take the children to Canada and leave her behind. I have a similar story that happened to one of my Philippina co-worker. She has two children raised by her mother and sister back in the Philippines. She was separated from her husband for many years, the guy actually disappeared for months and did not visit the kids. He did not work and they had a verbal agreement that she sends a certain amount of money to his account each month. Sha was preparing to send out her FSW application including the kids and asked her husbands consent for the medicals and the overall process. He saw his chance to get to Canada if he is included in the application, so he `kidnapped` the kids from the mother`s house and threatened her not to see her kids again if she refuses to include him.
She never reported anything to the authorities because she was sure that they won`t find them and agreed to make him an accompanying family member. They got PR a few months ago, the guy landed with the children and left them the very next day. She doesn`t know where he is or what is he doing, she was just releived that her children are with her.
It is very sad and upsetting to see what a person whom you loved once can do to you...

I looked it up if the Philippines is a party to the Hague convention. This is an agreement between countries on custody where if a parent kidnaps a child from one country to another, they can run the case in their homeland to get the children returned. However, the Philippines do not seem to be a party to this agreement which could make the case difficult if he did kidnap the children.

At the moment, he can promise her all kinds of things about getting her PR visa in order for her not to sabotage his application but at the time he gets the visa, he could still destroy her passport and try to take the children. She and her family should watch the children carefully until a year from their medicals. At that point their visas will expire.

Ugh, what a sperm donor, not father.

Its disappointing to see what people can do to enter this country and then ofcourse the genuine cases like mine and alot of others have to suffer due to these types of misrepresentations and/or frauds. VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING....

Oh my, what an a__hole! I'm glad I brought back my son here. Though I don't mean it in the bad way coz my husband and I are still committed to each other but as for a mother myself, I am rest assured my child is with me no matter how hard it is being a single parent...until my hubby gets back here.

It is very sad indeed and I wish that children would never be dragged into parents battles or used for their advantage. All I wanted to point out with my post is that I can picture how this poor woman in the original post can feel. It seems that local police is unable to deal with domestic violence, kidnappers and human trafficking, that`s what I heard from my colleagues. On the other hand she might felt that the children would have a better future in Canada which will be taken away from them if they don`t land.
The man doesn`t want her to come to Canada probably, because they can get a legal divorce and have to pay child and maybe spousal support as well. If she wants to come, she should negotiate with him somehow, yet again the man has more power in his hands.
The question is whether she wants to keep her children safe with her in the Philippines or she wants to come to Canada?

 

[Stumpedmom]

is this not a case of misrepresentation tho??? He keeps her on the application, and if it is a FSW case, he needs the points for her....if he lands even with the children and not his wife...could they not deny all PR visas based on the fact that he is not landing as a family, just him and the children, as the visas were issued based on the points????

 

[Leon]

He could say that there was no problem with the marriage and that his wife wanted to land later but changed her mind. It's her word against his but if she were to report him, it is possible that immigration would investigate him and get him in trouble although kidnapping the children is likely to get him in even more trouble.

She can bargain with her husband that she will report him to the Philippine Immigration if he tried to get their children without her and if he was able to fake her signature to bring with him the children to Canada. Immigration Officers at the Airport will not let her husband go with their children with him when he is on a BLACKLIST.

And if He had stop supporting them. She could report him to POEA and get him deported and maybe his Permanent Residency be cancelled by the Authorities.

Only a suggestion if worse comes into worst.


I got this facts below on the Philippine Immigration website:SOME RESTRICTIONS ON THE RIGHT TO TRAVEL OF FILIPINOS

I. Minority- for the travel of unaccompanied minors, a Travel Clearance must be issued by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and presented to the Immigration Officer prior to departure.

A travel clearance is required and shall be secured from the DSWD by the following Filipino citizens:

1. A minor traveling alone to a foreign country;

2. A minor traveling to a foreign country accompanied by a person other than his/her parents.

3. A minor who is the subject of ongoing custody battle between parents will not be issued a travel clearance unless a Court Order is issued to allow the child to travel abroad with either one of his/her parents or authorized guardian.
