Many pretty young ladies and good looking young men from third world countries capitalize on their beauty to marry a prominent Canadian man or woman with hopes to become a citizen by matrimonial virtue. Unfortunately, sometimes the Canadian sponsor gets conned and the man or woman whom he or she sponsored to get into Canada and marries, suddenly leaves and enjoys the luxury of becoming a Canadian citizen, leaving the sponsor hanging on the hook. This is why we advise people to root their relationships in love before getting married otherwise you'll end up being conned as well by these fake "I do's."
The Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has now imposed stricter regulations regarding sponsoring a spouse, because some end up in marriage frauds. The CIC in collaboration with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) deems it necessary for a couple that involves a foreign party in such a relationship to live together for at least two years before getting married. Naturally any ill-behavior between the two parties will eventually show during those periods and if they truly have mutual affection for each other, no trouble should arise under any circumstances whatsoever. This 2-year nesting period is designed to test the couple's relationship and to find out whether they're faking it or really want to be together.
Unfortunately, marriage fraud is just another way of masquerading human trafficking, only this time it goes through the legal process and it's harder to crack down. This is especially true if both parties are actively participating in the scheme called "marriage of convenience." This happens when the Canadian citizen sponsors the so-called "spouse" into Canada and then breaks up immediately or after staying together for a few months. Apparently both will benefit from the fake marriage. The Canadian citizen will get cash or some other favors in exchange for the supposed spouse's citizenship. The other side of this scenario is that there are real con artists out there ready to prey on the weaknesses of other people.
The CIC received about 50,000 immigration applications last year for spousal sponsorship alone, and 10,000 of those applications have been rejected because of some evidence that suggest marriage of convenience was in play. Moreover more than half of spousal sponsorship from southern China was also rejected by the Hong Kong branch of CIC due to fraudulent marriages. This clearly shows that people are willing to break the law just to obtain citizenship. Well who wouldn't? Canada's economy is rising which means more opportunities will arise as well for the next 10 years or so.
Betting on the right or the wrong person can make you happy or leave you financially and emotionally broke. Fortunately the CIC has created new rules against fraudulent marriages that auto rejects any spousal sponsorship that are either not genuine or the sole aim of the marriage is simply to obtain citizenship. These new rules aim to protect the interests of Canadians who unfortunately had been victimized by marriage frauds.
