YamPower... that is good to know. I will relay that information to Sarah. Alex doesn't want to be a position where he can't leave Canada if he wants to... and doesn't want to be without a passport. Good to know that is not an issue. But this brings up a question I have tried to find the answer...

Funny you mention... "Unfortunately your daughter will blame you if that happens and say you didn’t look out for her as this has happened on this forum before." I agree with you. That is very likely what will happen if it goes wrong. I even mentioned that to her... that she will blame me if it...

No... Sarah hasn't taken out any loans for him. Sarah herself is completely financially dependent on us. She only has one bill... her cell phone bill... and she has had to change her number 2-3 times over the last couple of years for non-payment. But the girl just finished uni and is 23. She is...

Thanks Miraclejj... I will definitely pass that information on. Of course, as far as Sarah is concerned, this relationship was destined from eternity, and the chance of divorce is 0.0000%. But definitely useful to keep in mind. I don't believe I have the powers of an Oracle, so I tell Sarah...

Yam Power, I think you are dead on the money. We have ZERO personal experience with immigration. My family has been in Canada since before Canada was a country. Alex probably couldn't pull this off within the Polish community. They'd see through it in a second. And I can't think of anything...

Not a question of IRCC relationship baby sitting. More a question of Canada's screwed up immigration laws allowing illegal immigrants flaunting our immigration laws to stay in Canada if they can hoodwink a Canadian girl into marrying them. Alex doesn't belong in Canada. His whole application was...

canuck_in_uk Ya... you are right. It's true... my daughter is making her own bad choices. I have spent countless hours talking to my daughter about her bad choices, which hasn't gotten me anywhere. I have been trying to talk up the immigration problems, headaches, and stress she is setting...

YamPower, What I have discovered is that the younger and the older often have very different ideas about the value of letting young people make their own mistakes. But I haven't called the tip line, and as tempting as it is, I don't plan to. I could see through Alex's act within one month of...

Scylla, Thanks again. You seem very knowledgeable. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I found a folder that my daughter keeps on Alex's immigration file. Turns out that he was given a temporary resident visa that expired Jan 31, 2016. So he did deal with his order to appear to...

Very much appreciate all the very helpful responses. Thank you! I took Sarah out for lunch today, and although she knows I am furious with Alex, we still have the ability to talk. I tried to convey to her some of what you told me. We were told by an immigration consultant that it would be...

Copingwithlife... you don't even know how tempted I have been to do exactly that. My fear is that my daughter would then move back to Poland with him (even though she speaks no Polish), and I would lose regular contact with her. Plus... I would really feel like a rat for the rest of my life. My...

Thanks Kayaker... I understand your point. I think it would be easy to prove there has been a long-term relationship... definitely not a sham marriage in that they have had a 3.5 year relationship. Whether it is for "love" or "immigration status" only Alex knows. But for my daughter it is love...

Thanks Buletruck... much appreciated. Planning for the worst case scenario is the right approach. If he ignored the request to report that would definitely be bad. But although he never reported he says he did eventually get a visitor visa. Sounded fishy to me, but I am no expert. I guess best...

Have spent a lot of time looking for answers and this forum has been the most helpful. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the story. "Alex" was 26 when he came to Toronto from Poland on a Visitor Visa in February 2015 with his uncle's family. He was turned around at...
