I came to Canada a few months ago under spousal sponsorship and received my permanent resident card. However, my partner and I have been having marital problems for some time and it has become obvious its best for him and I to live separately. Could there be immigration problems in future? I don't know what is the best way out here. I don't depend on my spouse for support money. Please comment. Could my citizenship application 3 years down the road face problem?
Marital problem and effect on immigration

I'm sorry to hear about your marital problems. Your PR status will not be affected by your problems even if you divorce. You are and will be a PR as long as you maintain your status. Your spouse would still be responsible for you for 3 years since you landed as per the sponsorship agreement. You can lead your life normally and apply for citizenship once you completed the required time with no problems. He can't do anything to your status. Hope that helped
I would like to apply for BC health insurance and the form requires a copy of spouse's landing record or permanent resident card, which I don't have. I have asked him to provide me a copy and he has refused. I have moved out of his residence and am residing separately, all alone in this new country.
How should I go about filling the health insurance form? What should I say in the form?
Thank you for your kind help.

I am pretty sure it's illegal for him to withhold your PR card and record of landing. You can talk to the police about having them escort you to his apartment to pick these up as well as other things you may have there. If he has destroyed your landing papers and PR card, don't worry, you can get new ones but it will take a while. Here's how to get a copy of your landing papers: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5545E.asp and here's how to apply for a replacement PR card: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/pr-card/apply-how.asp#replace

From what I understand, greatbritain needs copies of his (or her) spouse's PR card, not his own. I don't think the spouse is under any obligation to provide those, but it sure would be nice if he did.
If you can't reason with your spouse, I would suggest talking to... whoever it is that's responsible for BC health. Tell them your spouse refuses to provide the necessary documents and ask what can be done about it.
