      Met a girl who „married up“ because her parents sold access to Canada when they arranged her marriage.

      How hard would it be to just ban one country for 5 years for any temp visas?

      Marriages of convenience were the standard for millenia. Marriage for love is a relatively new concept.

      Even with people marrying for love, it almost seems like a necessity in today’s economy. Living on your own isn’t as affordable as it used to be. Either need to have roommates or have a partner to split the bills.

      Marriage scams are not uncommon. This has been happening for years. Passport bros or LBH as locals call them exist. The difference is women usually are escaping poverty and bad conditions

    5. This is absolutely unbelievable. No one could have seen this coming. Surely people come to Canada honestly and for a better way of life. Certainly not to make mini versions of their own country in localized neighbourhoods and try to influence culture and policy to benefit themselves. Impossible this story can be true.

    6. This practice among south asian students was already well known at least 15 years ago. And it was obvious that those open work permits really should be limited to spouses of graduate and professional students only. It’s great the government did just that.

    7. fraud and constant abuse of the immigration process. People claiming refugee status for like everything and coming here to „study“.

      Every country in the world could tell our govt what’s going on but the govt just wants airdropped taxpayers we didn’t have to pay to raise that work for 30% less like the rest of our generation.

      This is who university grads are competing against for their first job out of university. 

      Education? Check. Work experience? Check. Willing to take the entry level job at entry level salary? Check.  

      Then comes the health card to overwhelm an already stressed healthcare system. Then comes permanent residency.

      Yeah, no shit. This is precisely why IRCC changed the guidelines for spousal work permits.

    11. Yeah sadly this is only one of soooo many loopholes that have been easily exploited.

      This is why the canadian government has next to zero real grasp on the overall situation. Illegals have entered and may never leave, we now know even they receive welfare payments.

    12. The fact that judges already give lower sentences to convicted criminals to not effect their immigration status, I don’t think the government cares about this issue

      send them all back .. if your coming here to scam us more than your phone calls already try and do please just fuck off.

      Indian-Canadian here! Moved here legitimately at age 17 after high school grad in mid-2014 to pursue post-secondary education. Went to college, worked retail jobs, and 10 years later got my citizenship in early 2024. I grew up in Dubai, though, since I was less than a year old. I grew up in a family and around other Indians who can all speak English since we were 3 years old. And living in an absolute monarchy like UAE makes it very normal for people to follow laws.

      Having said all this, my (F29) issue is that the Indians committing immigration fraud, or coming here legally but then choosing not to assimilate, have made life very difficult for Indians like myself and my family. We have never stuck with Indians only, gotten hired by some Indian franchise owner, etc. and yet, now we get to witness all the cockroach-style racists boldly coming out of the woodwork when people with legitimate, non-racist opinions have concerns to speak out about.

      If you’re an Indian who wants to or has already committed immigration fraud and/or refusing to assimilate and you’re reading my comment, here’s what I want to say to you – You have ruined India’s already fragile image, destroyed the trust amongst ordinary citizens, and made it simpler for racists to be outspoken. While you can’t be directly in control of racists’ actions, you are the reason at least partially directly for why they feel so emboldened. I am genuinely exhausted from reading the South Asian hatred online, and you are partly to blame at the very least. I hope you all get deported.

      And to anyone who wants to @ me by saying “oh you’re in but now you don’t want others here” DAMN RIGHT, I don’t want those kind of people here. I know that there’s immigration fraud happening via other countries too. But I didn’t work my behind off like most any other Canadian only to now be ridiculed for the melatonin in my skin. Racists have always existed, yes, but the racism against South Asians didn’t use to be so aggressive and omnipresent.

    15. There is something to be concerned about with the last several years of our immigration process beyond just the sheer volume.

      With the system set up the way it was, it attracted those people who were most willing to cheat and game the system to get to Canada and stay here. So not only are you pulling in hundreds of thousands of unskilled labourers into a market that doesn’t need them, you’re also pulling in types that are less likely to be model citizens.

      Nigerian father of 4 who declares he is bisexual and claims asylum has a better chance of staying than someone who plays fair.

      Here’s the Liberal pattern over the last 10+ years:

      1. That’s not happening, you are a conspiracy theorist / spouting misinformation
      2. Well that is happening, but it’s not as bad as you are saying. You are spouting misinformation.
      3. Ok it’s happening, but here’s why it’s a good thing. If you disagree you are a right winger.
      4. ok it’s not a good thing (recognize voters are not agreeing with it. We’ve fixed it! (making a small policy change, but so minimal it won’t do anything substantial)
      5. Start back at #1

    17. As if this is somehow unique to Indian students, there is whole television show 90 day fiance, which is basically guy/gal looking to marry a sucker for citizenship and better life.

    18. Ban the Canadian colleges exploiting these students in the first place. Problem solved.

      These places are paper mills and super easy to get into as they exist only to drain international students’ bank accounts, nothing more. Shut them down, and you eliminate the “students coming for the wrong reasons” issue overnight.

      Is there anything left for them to abuse? Immigrants need to come from different countries in future, ones that will respect Canada and integrate

      Rampant fraud has plagued our immigration system for decades, even before Trudeau’s era of accepting anyone with a pulse. Turns out people from low trust societies do a lot of lying, cheating, and scamming

    21. Which is why it was such a PAIN IN THE ASS for my wife to move here back in 2017, soooo much paperwork >_o

    22. FigureMost1687 on

      This is not new news , this has been known and going on for last 10 years from that particular country ..some people made big money selling marriages for permit.

    23. Prudent-Poetry-2718 on

      One of my coworkers went to India for his parents to find him a match. He was gone a month (!?) but came back absolutely smitten! I hope the marriage is a ln honest and loving one.

    24. Don’t wanna be that guy but its time to send all of them back. And only skilled labour after 1 entire year of no students or immigration from india. Full year.

      In this thread a bunch of made up stories of i know a girl who married a rich guy so he could get a canadian citizenship. Lol

      In canada a rich person has a legal pathway to get canadian citizenship through simple investments. There is no need for them to have to marry some random poor canadian.

    26. KermitsBusiness on

      Is this not fraud that can be punished, even to the point of losing PR.

    27. Immigration restrictions should only part of the solution. Where is the crackdown on colleges and franchise owners that have taken advantage of this for years?
