Hello everyone.
I live in Africa. my husband who is a permanent resident of Canada tried to sponsor me and our child. but the application was denied because CIC claimed he didnt inform them that he was married when he became a landed immigrant. so my application was denied.
there after i applied for a US visa and i was granted a 2 years multiple and i proceeded to the USA with my daughter. my husband visit me in USA regularly.
Now am planing to cross over to Canada and declare refugee.
my fear and question is my chances if i decided to seek refugee status, will they accept my claim, will it not affect my husband?
I would be concerned that as he didn't declare you on his initial application, you wouldn't be able to overcome the requirements for having family in Canada. I suspect, because of that, they won't allow you to use him as a family in Canada and you would be returned to the US to claim refugee status there.

This won't work due to the Safe Third Country Agreement. You won't qualify under the exception since your husband failed to declare you when he immigrated and you aren't recognized as family. You'll need to find a different route for immigrating to Canada.
