I've asked this question before but since it's the last day and I need a bit more advice. What do I do in my situation now?
Im originally from Canada. 3 years ago, my parents flew me abroad and I leaned I was getting into an arrange marriage. It was a forced marriage actually. I've asked this question before and people criticized me thinking I was a troll or dumb. But they don't know what my situation is like. I've been living here illegally for 3 years. My husband is still working on my paperwork and stuff. But the problem is, I want to get back home. I didn't want to be married or trapped in some foreign country. I took some people's advice and called the embassy multiple times over the past 3 months. I get no reply every single time. My passport has expired and I'm scared of getting trapped here. I've been going through extreme depression and suicidal thoughts. My passport has been expired for an entire year and a half and I don't know what to do now. What do I do at this point? Should I just leave and go to a woman's shelter and try to get help elsewhere? I don't know how to go about this and I'm exhausted. I've reached my breaking point and I'm about to actually off myself from this world.
I'm not being abused by the way but I am being controlled a lot.

Go to the embassy with your expired passport. Its harder to ignore someone at the door than it is to ignore an email in a whole pile of them.
As a Canadian Citizen it is illegal for you to have been forced into an unwanted marriage, and have been taken out of the country to have done so.
That's my advice.

As I have said several times, PACK A FEW THINGS AND GO PHYSICALLY TO THE EMBASSY AND REQUEST THAT THEY SHELTER YOU AND RETURN YOU TO CANADA. Yes, you could go to a woman's shelter.

I do NOT take threats of suicide lightly. One of my friends actually did commit suicide after many, many (casual) threats. Your IP address needs to be tracked. Lets see if the Canadian Embassy in Toronto can accomplish that AND remove you from wherever you are.

Yeah, you should stay where you are, in fact, invite your whole family to go back.
You people come to Canada and refuse to integrate, perhaps you want us to take on your third world garbage habits.

Yes, if there is a woman's shelter available, then of course you try that. And instead of calling the Canadian Embassy, walk in the front door with your expired passport and make your situation clear to them.
