oh just read your good post n wanna say that not all of us have the possibility of have an 8 year long distance realtionship where one spouse is in a visa-required 3rd world country...and now with Covid World its nearly impossible, unless you move to said country for 8 years to get to know the person.
Marriage of Convenience/ Marriags Fraud

It is possible to commit to moving to another person's home country if one wants to prioritize their relationship. Many would not consider sponsoring someone without having a long term relationship where they have spent quite a lot of time in person.
That's ridiculous. There are plenty of people who can work remotely, put their stuff in storage, rent out their property, save money to relocate for a year, etc. If people want to prioritize living together before sponsorship it is possible.
Hmm I beg to differ lol. You deny that Covid restrictions have made so many ppl lose their jobs? They should all work remotely, yeah! The whole world can function remotely, no need to worry, we are saved. (also I meant 8 years like in your case)
Just because you may not chose to move abroad for a year doesn't mean it isn't possible. People may save a year to be able to move abroad for 6-12 months. Sponsoring a spouse and/or getting married is a serious commitment and many would not consider it without significant time in person with a partner. You seem to feel like moving abroad to live with a spouse is unrealistic yet sponsoring someone without spending much time with them isn't a huge risk with serious financial implications.
Yeah I agree, its a double edge sword. Bringing in a fraud spouse is a huge headache that can ruin somebody's life for the foreseeable future.
Why does IRCC allow arrange marriages for the life of me I don't know.
That's not even a love marriage. Just somebody "arrange" the marriage is already a marriage of convenience to both parties involved.
no it's not relationship breakdown. when u hear my whole story then u will be say this is marriage of convenience. long story in short because my husband has other relationship and he started fighting once he got pr card. he admitted on me that his marriage was motive to come in Canada.
We cannot hear if you don't tell.
Did you record and keep the evidence when he admitted that his marrage was to come to Canada?
Having other relationships still doesn't mean a marriage of convenience. Unless you have in writing or an audio recording saying that your whole relationship was fake and was only to secure PR you're going to have a very hard time proving marriage of convenience. If you have children and he's been involved in their lives that would be a counterargument that it was a real relationship. Marriage of convenience is extremely hard to prove and the longer the relationship the harder to prove especially if children are involved.
Rejecting all arranged marriages would be discrimination. It certainly makes evaluating relationships much harder and unfortunately many of the arranged marriages are based on immigration.
