I believe that Canadian Citizens shouldn't go abroad to country like India, Pakistan, China, UK, etc. to get married. I am finding that more and more foreigners are using these Canadian Citizens to marry them for their own benefit. A friend of mine went to Shanghai, China went 8 months ago and now after coming here to Canada, she's ready to leave him heartbroken, and settle in Toronto, where her relatives are waiting for her.

Many will marry to come here to work and earn money, only to send money back to their own country to their family. Many will also marry to eventually bring their parents to Canada, USA, etc. By marrying an NRI, it doesn't mean that the girls parents will be sponsored here eventually. The NRI married the girl, not the parents, theire's no nutual agreement to bring the parents to Canada/USA as part of the marriage agreement. Some will marry you, then leave after getting the Health Card and SIN number. There are other \\\"hidden agendas\\\", so I urge you that you be careful if you go abroad.

Indian people are very selfish. Nowadays, even parents encourage their children to marry the NRI, so that they can settle in Canada, USA, etc. They'll marry you and be good to you, as long as you do what they tell you. If these girls don't get what they want, they will cause problems. All a guy wants in life is for his wife to love her back with pure love and devotion, but sometimes these \\\"hidden agendas\\\" can trap you. If you're going to marry someone, marry that person out of the goodness of your heart.

I am only writing this, so that you are aware of this, and take the time to know the person you will marry. Many depressing situations have occured, and I don't want others to experience such deception and betrayal. I am sure there are people in this forum who can both sides of the issues and be honest about it. Anyone who knows or has faith in God, know the Lord is present in every atom of this universe and nothing in this world will get unnoticed. There are consequences and rewards for every deed.

Hi Kubla,

The issue of marriage fraud / 498a has definitely caused a great deal of concern for our community, as there have been so many horror stories. As Canadians, we should still be able to protect ourselves when going abroad to marry. If you are going to ever go to India or any other country to get married, I feel it is best to go through a lawyer, and have the sponsored person sign an affidavit / pre-nuptial agreement to protect yourself. The 3 year undertaking agreement from the Immigration rules still holds, but according to the agreement, if the sponsored person leaves the relationship within 3 years lets say, the person must agree to pay back all of the expenses + emotional damages. If the Canadian sponsor was abusive, that is an exception. But, stipulations, like these in the prenuptial agreement / affidavit can scare off the fraudulent person - if they may have intentions of commiting fraud. It is difficult to tell what the foreign partner may have in mind, since so many are commiting frauds nowadays. There are groups in Canada who are trying to stop this inhuman practice. One of those members is close to getting his wife deported, as she only lived with him for such a short time period.
