Hi all,

I know a certain people (couple) , who are planning to do a marriage of convenience to get PR. The thing is, yes it is none of my business, but I feel it is terribly unfair, as people have to invest significant time, money, education and the list goes on, just to be able to settle here. I myself had studied here for almost 7 years, worked thousands of hours, and have finally become eligible. And if someone who came here to do a shoddy college diploma for a 1 year and then find someone to marry his way, to exploit the system. I do find it unfair. Do you guys think it would be the right thing to do by report an anonymous tip to CBSA? Nothing also might happen at all, CBSA might not do anything at all, or they might not go through the marriage also, however, I am just having this moral dilemma ? Advice, opinions are gladly welcomed :)

Absolutely do report it.

Not only is it against the law, but processing these fraudulent applications also lengthens the processing time for every other legit application, as time spent processing the fraudulent one could be spent processing your own, legit application.

Report it. If the relationship is genuine, by all means the person deserves the PR
