Thank you for reaching out, ****. Could you please provide a little more context or detail about your friend's legal issue? Also, the specific location would be helpful to give more accurate information.
He was given visiting visa to Canada to meet his wife who’s in school but suddenly the wife developed mental illness that she can’t continue her school and she is wanting to go back to her country. Would this affect the husband and if yes, what can he do to protect the life of only child and himself. Thanks
Hello ****, it would be helpful to know where your friend is from. Is he also from Canada or another country? This will help to determine the specific laws that apply to his situation.
He is from Ghana in Africa
