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.

I'm so sorry for what you are doing through. I see you've been a member since 2006 so I take it that you didn't see any of the info we've had up for years on DR1. I'm sure you've read a lot of threads and articles since then but I'd like to ask you this, if you had read any of the warning before getting married would you have seen it in your own case or would you have thought, gee that's too bad but it has nothing to do with my relationship.

Does the scammer have to actually leave before we see what they truly are? Can you now see any of the signs that people warn about? Did you allow the signs to go over your head because you were in love? I'm asking all these questions because I'm trying to understand why people don't see it until it's too late and not as any disrespect to you.
