Are you outland or inland. And is your primary office Winnipeg, and secondary office Sedney?

I remember you from a comment a while back and it’s insane that it’s taking this long. Are you considering filling mandamus?
If you haven’t filed yet, with AI you can file it yourself to save money. There might be guides online on how to. Good luck and keep us updated.
I don't know why the Winnipeg PO and Sedney visa offices delay. I applied September 30 2024 but still waiting for P1. Anyone in the same boot?
My spousal permanent residence application was withdrawn by my spouse on the grounds of recent legal separation.
During the breakdown of the relationship, I experienced emotional mistreatment, abandonment during a medical procedure where he abandoned me when he was responsible for taking me to the hospital and back home because I was going to be under general anesthesia and bleeding after.
Also there was significant pressure to leave our shared home on short notice in the peak of winter (-17 degrees celsius) or stay and take the whole apartment and pay the entire rent which I cannot afford so I left and moved myself after having had surgery.
My immigration status was dependent on my spouse, and I am now at risk of losing my legal status. My post-graduation work permit expires in early March. I am seeking information about protections available in situations involving family breakdown and abuse, including how I can maintain my status and ability to work while my options are assessed.
I'm settled in Canada since 2 years having completed 1 year education and employed for a year. I pay taxes, have friends and extended family and will face severe hardship if I leave Canada (displacement, loss of job, social stigma tied to being a divorcee, family resentment and possible homelessness).
Is H&C OR atleast Family Violence OWP an option for me post abandonment and emotional abuse?

Based on IRCC policy and your facts, yes—an H&C application is a realistic option, and a Family Violence Open Work Permit (FV-OWP) may also be available, but they serve different purposes and have different thresholds. Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) relief is designed exactly for situations like yours where a person has established themselves in Canada and faces disproportionate hardship if forced to leave; officers can consider emotional abuse, abandonment during medical vulnerability, housing instability after surgery, loss of status caused by a spouse’s actions, your establishment in Canada (education, work, taxes, community ties), and the serious hardship and stigma you would face if returned—all of which you have described. H&C does not require physical violence and does not depend on your spouse’s cooperation, but it is discretionary and takes time; it does not automatically give you the right to work, though many applicants request an open work permit alongside H&C once eligibility is established. Separately, the Family Violence Open Work Permit is a temporary protection measure for people in Canada whose status was tied to an abusive spouse or partner and who experienced family violence, which IRCC explicitly recognizes as including psychological/emotional abuse, coercive control, abandonment, and financial pressure, not just physical harm; if approved, it can give you immediate legal status and the ability to work while you stabilize, without fees, and without requiring a police report (credible evidence such as medical records, messages, affidavits, or third-party letters can suffice). Because your PGWP expires in early March, timing is critical: you should apply before expiry to preserve status (e.g., FV-OWP if eligible, or at minimum a visitor record as a safety net), while preparing an H&C application that fully documents the abuse, the withdrawal of the spousal PR, your establishment, and the hardship of removal. This is a complex, high-stakes situation, so speaking urgently with a licensed Canadian immigration lawyer or RCIC and a women’s or newcomer legal clinic is strongly recommended to sequence the applications correctly and protect your ability to remain and work in Canada.
