Splitting with kids

[tyrionsbeard]

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody can help.

Me and my husband are splitting up, we have 2 kids in elementary school.
I am currently on a student permit, he is on an open work permit. I'm hoping to get my student permit and his open work permit extended.

I know that we have to stay together in order for his permit to be extended, so my question is this. Can my husband force me and my kids to return to the uk? Or, because we are already in Canada, can I keep them here? I have this feeling, if I don't do what he wants, he is going to try and force me and the kids to leave, when we really want to stay.

I hope this makes sense.
Thanks

Not sure he could force you as assume maybe wrongly you are the main visa holder with the student visa and husbands permit is off the back of that. Unfortunately sounds like might need some legal advice to resolve the status of the children what would be required for them to stay on with or without the husbands permission. A public forum not an easy place to get sound advice especially as every situation is personal and dfferent.
