Hello everyone
i know someone who married to a canadian citizen and sponsored by. After landing that canadian spouse came to know that this person married to her only for canadian residency. she inform CBSA immediately. what is the next step? that person will be deported or not? his application was submitted before 2012 .
any suggestions + ideas would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
 
When did she inform CBSA, how long has he been in Canada
 
As the app was submitted before 2012, Condition 51 doesn't apply. This means that unless she has actual hard evidence proving he married her for PR, there isn't really anything that can be done.
 
If they were married before 2012, his status can't be revoked except serious misrepresentation case on his application

What is condition 51?

It is a rule that requires some couples to live together for 2 years after the app is approved. However, it only applies to apps submitted after Oct 25th, 2012.

yes after he landed here we came to know that he gave false information on sponsorship file.

But can you definitively prove it?

yes all proofs and evidence sent to cbsa.

CBSA can't do a thing about this situation , CIC will not bother either unless he committed a misrepresentation which is a bit hard to proof , i.e lied about criminal history
 
She did the right thing by sending an explanation and all the proof she has to CBSA. I would also send an explanation and the proof to CIC.

Then she should try to move on with her life. CBSA and CIC do not have enough staff to investigate all possible cases of marriage fraud. They often do nothing, even in cases where it is obvious that the marriage was not genuine.

It is difficult to realize that someone you loved used you. But spending years trying to get CBSA or CIC to do something about it is a waste. They may do something about it. If they need her as a witness, they will contact her. They may do something about the situation without letting her know.

However, by telling CBSA and CIC about the situation and providing proof, she has at least made it difficult for the fraudster to sponsor anyone else. If he tries to sponsor a new spouse, his record will show he committed marriage fraud to enter Canada, and his own sponsorship will be heavily scrutinized.
