  • Most of sponsored people as spouses cheat their wives/husbands as soon as they become Canadian residents because their sole purpose for marrying is to obtain Canadian immigration. Recently most of sponsored spouses have been running from the airport as they get permanent status at the airport. Some just stay with their spouses until they get the PR card.
  • The existing law permits them the permanent status right away when they enter Canada rather than allowing them some times to show whether the marriage is genuine.Countries like USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand have conditional immigration for the marriage base system. It becomes hard for foreign people to misuse the system

    “There are an overwhelming number of people that have come forward who were victimized by their sponsored spouses and later re-victimized by government authorities that penalized them for the actions of their estranged spouse,” says Burnaby Edmonds Raj Chouhan

    Some organization and our survey with more than 100 NRIs has proposed a three year probationary period for immigrating spouses. Their permanent residence status must be revoked if they break the law

    Most of the victims are still afraid to come forward and voice their experiences to the public and the media.

    "People who are victims don't feel comfortable coming out. People feel ashamed."
