Listen brother, I have had gone through a similar experience, except that my wife did not show her intentions of coming here to Canada until after arriving in Canada. She showed very strange behaviour towards me and made very painful remarks to me. I couldn't understand why she was being like that. I thought that I did something to cause her to behave like this. I secretly found out that she was calling her lover and boyfriend and used me for Immigration reasons. Her family planned all of this, which made me more upset. These are heartless people. Me and my family went through great painful emotions. We were looking forward to a new, happy life, but eveything was shattered within days. She left me afterwards and is settling in Toronto. She's now working illegally and also collecting welfare. It is hard for me to catch her. If I can only prove this...
Immigration Canada has done nothing for me, so far. It is possible that they may get back to me much later. I will not give up. I feel that it is my duty to try to deport her, because she came here on illegal grounds and morally, what she did was totally paap. If me and my wife had a relationship problem, I would not mind helping or supporting her, but clearly, her intentions of coming here to Canada was for immigration reasons.
I loved her dearly. She meant the world to me. I have gone through great mental torture myself. But, don't give up, brother. Because, wherever there is truth, there is Krishna...
Some one sent me a PM asking me about the process of getting a spouse deported if they have found that she/he married a Canadian citizen/PR soley for the purpose of gaining Canadian Residency.
While I don't know the details, I do know it is very difficult to prove that some one married you to get Canadian residency.
Here is a story that happened a few years back. I guess the bride tried to portray her husband was asking dowry etc. but the stories she told the investigators were inconsistent and she was finally deported to India (as far as I remember):

Wife jailed for sham marriage

EDMONTON - A bride from India who told her new husband she married him for his Canadian citizenship was sentenced on Thursday to four months in jail in Edmonton for communicating false information.
It may be Canada's first successful prosecution of a marriage of convenience, said federal Crown prosecutor Erin Eacott.
While marrying for citizenship may be common, it's hard to prosecute such cases because both spouses are usually in on the sham, said Eacott.
Not in this case.
In April 2001, Satnam (Sam) Parmar, a 38-year-old drugstore supervisor, went to India to visit relatives. Family members there arranged for him to meet Karmjeet Jaswal, an elementary school teacher.
Their four-day courtship ended in a marriage proposal and a big wedding with 200 guests. Parmar, who looked forward to married life and children, returned to Edmonton, while his new wife began the immigration process.
A year later, when her visa was finally processed, Parmar met Jaswal at the Edmonton International Airport with chocolates and a bouquet of flowers.
But at the luggage carousel, Jaswal told him her true reasons for marrying. She said she never loved him and she wouldn't consummate their marriage.
The next day, she told his aunt she'd only married Parmar in India so she could come to Canada and later bring her mother and nephews.
Parmar says he never knew of his wife's scheme and he was heartbroken when he learned of it. He then contacted immigration officials. After a lengthy investigation, they laid charges of communicating false information, a rarely used charge under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
At her trial, Jaswal said she left the marriage because her husband demanded money from her family as soon as she arrived in Edmonton. But during sentencing on Thursday, the trial judge said he found her testimony full of inconsistencies.
Parmar and Jaswal divorced last December. The Canada Border Services Agency must now determine if she should be deported.

Was there any dowry involved in your marriage?
Also, send the letter to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga or wherever it is applicable, as well as a letter and e-mail to the Minister of Immigration:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/minister-bio.html
...Here is a sample letter (below). I assume there was no dowry in your marriage. If that is the case, mention this. This will help to show further that you did not just marry her for dowry. You have to look at both sides of things. If you did, then they might become suspicious of you. If you and your family are honest people, then you should have not accepted a dowry.
It is best to get your letter checked quickly by an immigration lawyer. Do it quick:
=============================================
URGENT: Application withdrawl (Immigration fraud)
File Number: _____________
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my concern over the permanent resident status of ______________________. On (date), I was married to _______________ in _____, India. Shortly, afterwards, I returned to Canada. On _____________________, I submitted my Spousal Sponsorship application and it is currently being processed in New Delhi(?), India. I have determined that my wife has married me on the grounds of obtaining a permanent residence status. I would like to withdraw from this application as soon as possible. Me and my family are very devastated over what has happened, and I hope that quick action is taken.
My reasons for concluding that my wife entered into a sham marriage to obtain a permanent residence status include ____________________
_____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
I feel very sad and depressed over what has been revealed in the past few months. I hope that proper action is taken as soon as possible. These types of immigration fraud seem to be occurring more and more. I believe it will be best to change these policies, so that Canadian Citizens are not trapped by someone who comes to Canada under false pretenses, misrepresentation or fraud. I have nothing to gain from this, but everything to lose. I hope that my spousal sponsorship application is cancelled as soon as possible. I will co-operate at all levels. Please contact me at ___________ if you require further information.
Was out of town for few days hence could not reply. There was no Dowry involved since i and my family are against it.
I am not sure this is official, but after getting divorce, if your re-marry and calling your new spouse, you have to wait for 3 years.
