I read your story.
It really saddens me so much.
I have absolutely no understanding how your partner could possibly behave in such a way.
My prayers will be with you and your children.
Just at this time of reading, I cannot think of a way to help you achieve a positive outcome.
Have you contacted/informed the Canadian Embassy?
When you talk about living together in Canada as a couple for 8 years, was this for a continious period or did your partner often make visits back to UK?
