Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be very concerned about this situation.

You can find some detailed information on the Your Legal Rights website in the Will I be forced to leave Canada if I leave my partner? question.

Here is an excerpt,

Your partner might threaten to have you deported from Canada if you report their abuse or if you leave them. Deported from Canada means being forced to leave the country.

Your partner does not have the right to have you deported. Only federal immigration authorities can decide to deport someone.

The risk of you being forced to leave Canada depends on your immigration status here.

and

Permanent resident with conditions

Immigration authorities might not do anything if you leave your partner. But if you have permanent resident status with a condition to live with your partner who sponsored you, you’re expected to live with your sponsor for 2 years after you receive status.

If you separate during those 2 years, you could lose your status and be forced to leave Canada.

But, if you separate because of abuse or neglect, IRCC could set aside the condition that you must live with your sponsor. This means you don’t have to follow this condition.

It may be best for you to contact the nearest Settlement Service for some information regarding what your options are in this situation.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
