Globe and Mail Article about a Dominican sanky

[Lapurr]

canadiangirl858, I would be more than happy to sign a petition if you have a link or an ongoing petition.
I believe marriage fraud is wrong, and i also believe good people are being taken advantage of.
I am so glad to hear you have moved on, Thank you for sharing your story with us..Telling us what you have been through first hand is so much more effective than "I know a friend of a friend this once happened to."
In the end , it all comes down to Karma!!

Ok that makes better sense. The way immigration works some of us were having a hard time understanding how you got married and he arrived in Canada 2 months later as per the article.

I guess the answer to the other question is something we've heard many many times. " I didn't think he would do that to me" or "I didn't know there were people like that"

one more question, did he have an interview before they approved his visa? It's really hard to send them back once they are here but you already know that.

Best of luck to you.

My sponsorship is finished-and I have moved on with my life. I have found peace in my life and I know he will pay in the end. I just have to be patient and it will happen in god's time.

Good to hear that DR1 helped you find a private detective but sorry that it was after the fact and not before. I'm glad you're financial undertaking is over now and that he never took advantage of the system. I guess he will contact you eventually to get a divorce.

Good luck with border services, I had some contact with them over a bond that my exhusband signed for a refugee claimant that never appeared for his removal after 3 years in the process. They don't really do many removals on deportation orders even when they have the address of the residence and workplace of the individual; their slim resources are focussed on drugs, guns, money laundering, deporting murderers etc. I don't know how they careout investigations. I guess like that article said, there's a lot of "he said, she said". Did he sign this IMM form that says he has no children? Did you know that he had kids from a previous relationship?

I'd like to clarify that statement, he in fact took advantage of the system and you but apparently he didn't go on welfare and make you support him by having to repay the government.

I'm interested to know if he totally concealed his four children from you and immigration. If he lied in his documentation then you have the evidence for fraud. Did you ever ask him about children? Is there any chance that he was attempting to honour his obiligation to pay child support by putting a roof over their head? I often wonder what happens to the children who are left behind and if Canadian women accept that part of their family income should go towards supporting children from a previous relationship. Four children would be a deal breaker for a lot women. Four kids on the child support guidelines here in Canada can be a lot of money based on income and even the income of the spouse can be taken into consideration by the courts.

Yes he totally concealed the 4 children from me. I asked him so many times if he had children and he kept telling me no. He signed ALL the immigration papers stating he had no children and that all his statements were true. I have the birth certificates of all the children stating he is the father. And the same woman is the mother.
That's why i feel immigration needs to do something in this case as all the proof is there as to how he misrepresented himself. He had an interview and they asked him if he had children and he said no. I also told immigration to check his interview as to what he told them.

I've read on here about getting the CAIP's (sp?) notes of the file. Can I still get them or is it too late? If its not too late-how do I go about getting them.

Lapurr- there is a petition you can sign. I helped put together a non-profit organization called Canadians Against Immigration Fraud. You can check out our web site and there is a petition there. I am very comitted to this issue as I am also here to help others who are going through this. When this happened to me there was nothing out there for me-nobody to talk to who had experienced the same thing. Now there is our organization and hopefully we can educate people before it happens too.

It's the way most American women think too. Look up some of the new bills being quietly pushed through the U.S. House of Representatives "protecting" women in the workplace and through divorce. Pat Robertson was on MSNBC the other day railing about the loss of "men's rights".....read author Marc Rudov for some interesting insight.

In life, no matter where you are or who you are, don't give away anything you're afraid to lose....and that includes your heart.

Materialism is not a trait exclusive to women. It goes across all races, nationalities and sexes.
Protecting everyones civil rights is a good thing. Its not a womans issue but a human issue.

I am sure you would want your daughters civil rights protected at the workplace etc.

Pat Robertson...is nutbar that spreads hate
