I am the person in the article and I have been working very hard to get immigration to change their laws.
Yes Anna I should have hired a private investigator before he came to Canada, but I didn't. I live with the mistake I made and take full responsibility for my actions. This is why I do interviews and post on here so hopefully women won't make the same mistake. I have sent immigration all the proof, copies of the application where he lied and proof of the common law wife and children. I sent everything to them Feb/08 and I'm still waiting for them to do something. All I am asking is for them to interview him and come to their own decision about how he lied and misrepresented himself to gain status in Canada.
Unfortunately, alot of these con artists (from all different countries) know that they can come to Canada and not even spend one day with the sponsor. They know that immigration will not do anything. They receive permanent resident status immediately,
can collect social assistance, have free medical health care and can become Canadian citizens. Canada is they only country that does not have conditions on the
PR status.
Immigration needs to investigate some of these cases that are being presented to them.
