get ur story straight
did you already submit an application and the sponsorship portion was rejected and now you are trying to marry her friend?

Hi Sir,

I was and still hoping to be sponsored by my aunt. Thats it. I was trying to get advise before, for my own application.

This time, i am writing for my cousin. It is his situation now, not mine. I am not involved in any of his application.

I was just asking for some advise and help.

Thank you everyone for the insights.
 
90% chances are that this will be rejected due to things you have mentioned. Cases like these are the reason why some of us have to wait sooo long to be with our loved ones. Makes me sad :( My wife's process is going on since January 2010 and God knows how much longer it will be.

Why do people think it might work?

Perhaps because it used to?

Maybe back-in-the-day, there was either no legal regard for IC to differentiate MOC and real marriages, or they weren't as good at differentiating the two.

Or, perhaps it works elsewhere (i.e. outside of North America)?

Regardless, the concept is ridiculous and does nothing but delay LEGITIMATE applications. It would be good if IC would prosecute offenders fully -- you never hear of anyone going to jail for illegitimate sponsorship like they say they can.
 
May I ask you, just out of curiosity, how your cousin intends to live with his soon-to-be wife? I mean, will his wife expect an intimate relationship? Can he really deal with this?
 
Hi.. i just dropped by this thread.. I'm also from the Philippines and I would say things like this make me feel angry and ashamed (in my fellow filipino) . How can someone be so selfish doing something like fraud when most of us who are genuine are almost dying to bear the agony of waiting and getting through the right way just to be with our love ones? people like your cousin are the reason why the immigration is scrutinizing the applications much longer than needed.. maybe its bad to hope ill on someone but if your cousin (or you) will continue to what he is (or you are) planning.. I REALLY HOPE YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT!
 
I just can't believe this thread!
Terrible!
I hope you'll strongly oppose your cousin on this.
HE IS BREAKING THE LAW!
Besides, his actions are bad for all other applicants as well. How stupid of him and how sad that the couple has ever even considered such a terrible thing.
 
Hey buddy, go ahead with your plan, and see with your own eyes the consequences of your acts!

Immigration Canada folks(CIC) are not stupid, they know from previous cases how identify a fake marriage and yours would be way to easy to identify.
In this case the age gap would be one of many red flags on your case. Like previously said, "look for a different(and honest) way to immigrate to Canada."
 
Well said, Boasorte. The OP might learn his lesson by being banned from Canada and wasting money on an application which will most definitely be rejected. Go ahead and never try it once again. Also, if this `cousin` has never been out of his country or travelled anywhere why he is so desperate to be in Canada? It makes me angry that people like him think about this country is a dreamland and try to sneak in at any price. If he has a valuable profession, he should get all the necessary requirements and apply through the skilled worker program. By himself without abusing the system.
 
12 years ago i fucked up twice and got a fraud conviction and a DUI.

that was TWELVE years ago. The punishment i have to go through now is far, far worse than anything the judge handed down to foolish me. I am in jepardy of being separated from my wife and kids over convictions years ago, to a completely different chararacter to who i am today.

It just sickens my shit to read about people breaking the law NOW, in order to get in, and get admitted, i hope you get caught and they kick you and the grotty old spinster out of here permanantly.
the same with all shit bags using marriages of convience

I understand what you feel, let's hope they get caught.
FWIW Canada doesn't kick citizens out, but in this case (however impractical) it might be a good thing to do.

as if the likes of those are better in here than me? I broke the law 12 years ago, when i didn't even know a Canadian, let alone plan on marrying one and moving here. They are willfully breaking the law, NOW... to get in here. Who is more likely going to be a problem for the system?

Sadly, rules usually only impact those who try to obey them,... it is obvious that the OP does not care about the rules.
 
Well said Baloo. I am feeling frustrated by this thread because I am someone obeying the law but who is being interviewed at the end of the month with my husband I am sponsoring. It's a stressful thing, and to know there is a problem for me and everyone else in this position because of bone heads abusing our system. :(

I heard this the other day:

New immigrants are like ex-smokers..... who complain about smokers.

While new immigrants complain about those that follow them.

Agree or disagree?
