PR investigation- Bipolar husband is a sponsor.

[Lee-korean]

Hello, I really need some help.

I am South Korean who married my ex(Canadian citizen) almost 7 years ago in Korea. I have 5-year-old gaughter (Canadian citizen).

We lived in Korea almot 5 years, and moved to Canada 2 years ago. less than 2 years after I married my ex was turned out to have Bipolar (His mother has the same mental illness). When I knew that, I already had my baby girl (7 months old). First time when I sent him to Canada, he threaten me to give him a lot of money, he took the money (about $15,000) and went to his hometown in Canada. His parents called the police and he was sent to the hospital for the treatmet. He got better after he taking the medcation. He came back to Korea almost 8months after and saw the doctor for a while and kept taking the medication. However, a few months after he refused to take the meds and got sick again. He was very agressive and started to do strange things.

I asked him to go back to Canada to get the treatment. After he arrived in Canada, his parents let him being more sick. didn't take him to the hospital right away. I flew to Canda to see him 2 months after he left. He was not well treated by his own parents. That's why I decided to move to Canada to treat him properly.
5 months after that I flew to Canada to buy a beautiful house for us. 3months after that, me and my daughter moved to Canada to join my ex.

He lost so many jobs in Korea, threatened many people. Arrested by police 2 times. Abused me and my mother. He didn't work so much as he kept losing jobs. I had to work like a slave to support him and my daughter.

Life in Canada wasn't great. We only relied on ODSP-fairly small amount of money for 3 family members.
His illness didn't get any better, but I made sure he met the doctor and be on medication. That was the only way me and my daughter could live with him. If he is off medication, he becomes agressive and horrible, I had 5 years of that, didn't want to have it anymore.

His parents (mom-Bipolar(No medication) dad- horrible person (Only care about money)) frequently told my ex that he should not be on medicaion. They never supported us at all. I let my ex's older brother live at our house last summer for a couple of months. I think he has a mental illness too. He became very agressive and threatened me to kick me out or Canada and call the immigrtion. He also told my ex not to be on meds. I reported him to the police as he refused to move out. Finally he moved out but he kept telling my ex -no medication.

I'm sorry for your situation, but what exactly is your question??

 

[Lee-korean]

We couldn't live anymore becasue he refused to work and didn't do anything to help me. I couldn't go to work as he let my daughter to be starve. He ate most of the food at home for my daughter's school lunch, so I had to hide some food for my little girl.

I had to borrow a lof of money from the poeple at church. His family never ever helped us or offered to help.

I got my PR the end of Feb 2017. After that, I wanted to go to Korea to see my family and he wanted to go and see his parents to his hometown. We nicely talked about getting seperated and we argeed and signed it in the middle of April 2017. --- me and my daughter came back to Canada late May. We live 2 of us together. He lives with his parents now.

We sold the house, and he gave up his portion (He doesn't pay child support).

Now his horrible parents found out that my ex sigend the agreement and they got furious. They were upset as my ex gave up his portion on the house. THEY CALLED THE IMMIGRTION!!!!!

I got a call from immigration a few days ago. They said they are going to send me the letter and going to investgate my PR.

Our marriage is true and I devoted myself to help him for the last 7 years. We have a daughter too. She is canadian citizen.

I am so afraid..... what should I do???? Do you know about the investgation? Are they going to kick me out of Canada? What about my daughter? I can't leave her by herself!! No way!! Please help me.... if anybody knows... anything..

If your concern is their threat about you being kicked out of Canada, we have to ask this first: What is your status in Canada?

I am permenant residence.

Yep. We posted at the same time. They can investigate but they can't kick you out that fast. Gather all proof that your marriage is genuine.

I doubt they can actually revoke your PR given your circumstances.

I'm assuming here that they believe the PR sponsorship was based on a fraudulent relationship. You have 7 years of supporting him + a child together. You should be able to easily prove the marriage was legit.

Our marriage was genuine. When everybody told me to leave him in Korea, I didn't. But... living here with him---I can't make money... was really hard..... And, his family's attemt to control his medications put me in thought.

This will be an important date - what exactly was your relationship status in Feb 2017 when you landed as PR? Had you already discussed separation at this point?

If you were still a couple in February, then you should be able to convince IRCC yours was a real relationship that broke down after you became a PR. They may investigate, but most likely you will be able to keep PR status since there was no fraud involved.

To be absolutely sure, you may want to get a consultation from an experienced immigration lawyer in how to respond.

In the very worst case your PR was revoked (although unlikely), is your daughter also a Korean citizen that you could live with her in Korea? My own daughter was born in Canada, but we got her Korean citizenship when she was an infant still (in Korea).

I landed in Canada as a visitor. Applied PR july 2015. I got my PR in late Feb 2017.


Feb 2017, We were still a couple. The seperation was discussed after this point as we were arranging the trips to visit our own family members and discuss the selling the house stuff.

My daughter has a Korean citizenship too. She was born in Korea. Became canadian citizen after she came to Canada. She will be able to live with me in Korea.

You know what, don't worry. Stand your ground. Your anxiety is understandable when someone threatens your status. Gather up all significant evidences to counter their claim. Cic will most likely believe that your pr is not based on fraud. They have your previous app, they can certainly look at that and ask you to provide more evidences if they think something is not right. Hang tough.

I think you'll be fine. Just document everything to IRCC as they ask, and they should come to the conclusion there was no fraud involved so you should keep your PR status.

Yes. I really hope they see my application. Everything is normal and right. Thank you for supporting me. I am verry worried. But, I have to fight for my daughter who loves being in Canada.
