Id go to visit her but marrying her when u first meet her could b a problem. 1) You will have a hard time convincing VO; you will need lots of proof of genuine relationship before and after marriage and wedding proof and 2) Marriage fraud..a quick marriage could mean she just wants to come to Canada.

If u have any doubts then marry someone who has status to stay in Canada already.theres lots of ppl No need to go across the world if u cant be sure of this woman's intentions. It takes time. Obviously there are exceptions. Like i said there are other ppl who've married quickly and its genuine. If u think (use brain n heart to judge) shes genuine and her intentions to be with u in canada are then go for the quick marriage.

i think if u r going for it then make the marriage special (u could have a traditional ceremony or a civil but add to a civil by dressing up, have a reception after and a honeymoon after) and keep all proof. As well as other proof frm before and after marriage of you two. Good you are thinking about this now.
