marriage fraud protest in Mississauga and Ottawa
I was glad that there was a protest in Mississauga and Ottawa in mid-February 2007. I got a chance to meet a number of victims and supporters. I had met with victims who sponsored their wife from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Philippines, Afghanistan, China, India, and Pakistan. I made new friends, and shared my story with them. It was quite cold in -8 to -12 'C weather, without the wind chill, but we all survived and held it together. I think many of these folks were hoping to hear from someone and do something about this problem. The people who were there, really cared about doing something to put a stop to it. This is not to say that those that didn't attend did not care as much, but to some, job and other priorities weigh in much more, which is understandable.
This is a difficult fight because many people who are victims, are afraid to come out or are misguided by Immigration official at the 1-888-242-2100 phone number. But, I think the folks in the Toronto area has gotten a much stronger group. A new non-for-profit organization is about to be formed, called CANADIANS AGAINST IMMIGRATION FRAUD, and I am sure that things will begin to click, as time passes. Trying to enforce action from the existing laws is one thing, and changing the laws are also another thing. We hope that both will be done.
There have been more newspaper articles published since the last time I had made a posting. Here are some of them:
Marriage Fraud Protest
Sponsor spouses demand government action
(Vancouver)
Toronto husband filed a case of fraud to deport wife who run away after immigration
Beware of Marrying Abroad
The New Arranged Marriage
It would be good to just walk away, and get on with my life, but I feel these people need some help and a voice, so I am going to continue to help these victims, as much as I possibly can. Nothing is easy in life, but we must accept the challenges that we are given. In this particular case, if we don't then the same things will happen to others. I don't want others getting hurt. I just can't walk away. I am still going to try to continue with my life, but help the victims as well. With the blessings of God, no one can stop the success of this moral fight. Wherever there is truth, there is God.

Marriages of convenience are not allowed under Canada's immigration law! Or are they?
I have sponsored my wife to immigrate to Canada and soon after she landed, she abandoned me.
Before sponsoring my wife, I visited the CIC website:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/facts/marriage.asp
"Marriages of conv[en]ience are not allowed under Canada's immigration law. It is illegal to be married simply to immigrate to Canada. Spousal sponsorship is a serious legal commitment." "If a person enters into a marriage of convenience and comes to Canada as an immigrant, enforcement action can be taken. This enforcement action could result in deportation, and is the responsibility of the Canada Border Services Agency."
After sponsoring my wife, and after my wife abandoned me, I contacted Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and I have been told by the representative on the phone that "We are sorry that she has used you to come to Canada; there is nothing that can be done as she has already landed in Canada; she is recognized as a legal immigrant and you have to support her for three years although you might have been abused." What does this mean? Has the government of Canada deceived me? Why is the marriage of convenience "illegal" before the sponsored persons land in Canada and "legal" after they land in Canada? When the sponsorship principle is based on the truthfulness of the relationship between the wife and the husband, why the sponsorship is not void although the relationship has not been genuine?
I am writing to express my deepest concern that there is no marriage commitment in Canada, marriage fraud is legal in Canada, and the Canadian system is victimizing the citizen sponsors by supporting marriages of Convenience with sole purpose of immigrating to Canada. My family and I are victims of the Canadian System that is not enforcing Canadian Immigration Law. I have been told by the RCMP that: my wife is an adult; she is free to decide; there is no such thing as a marriage commitment; there is no support for the sponsor; there are various supports for the sponsored; the sponsor should carry the burden of marriage fraud. Canadian system deceives the sponsor by providing an opportunity to the fraudulent sponsored people to enter Canada and then victimizing the Canadian citizens by supporting those criminals with tax payers' income.
Other countries, namely the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Germany and many others grant periods of conditional establishment to spouses of their nationals. The sponsorship agreement should be void and the sponsored person's visa should be void if there are sufficient evidences proving that the relationship has not been genuine and the sponsored person has married the sponsor only to immigrate to the sponsor's country.

Hi
Its a good post i am agree with you .but do you thing how its come in front of us.
Hi
Every month we saw such type of new in which a person do marriage just for the immigration to his/her dream country. Once they achieved what they want after that they simply take divorce and live their life separately. To be secure you have to give some attention on it. All the dreams of your marriage will go in a dark side if you provide any leniency in your marriage.
people are getting married twice without divorce to land in canada.covicted people must be on public record

Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
