Makes me smile and happy for you, rjessome for getting through all of that dear, you deserve it!
So glad you and your hubby are happy together in Canada now.

(Sorry if that was random I just wanted to say that little bit.)

There were already a couple of discussions on this forum about the `passionate eye` documentary. I watched it not just once but a few times and found quite informative even though I feel like it was tailored to the Canadian viewers a little bit.
I agree with you Love_Young, thumbs up for rjessome to participate in it and for the active help she is doing here and outside of this site.

Does anyone have a link to where I can watch this? The one posted only works from inside Canada.

this happens in the UK alot, makes me so mad as when I bought my husband over from Canada 10 years ago, it took us 2 years for him to get his PR for the UK, it sickens me when people do this. :'( oh and reading that, She says “The easiest way to become a permanent resident in this country is to get married. As soon as you step into the country you’re granted permanent residency status. There’s no other country that grants this, this makes it sound easy to get into Canada, all you have to do is cross the border.
I think that sent the wrong message out and anyone reading that wanting to come to Canada through a fraudulent marriage, will think it is that easy and encourage more. I wish people would report the true facts and not get emotional and say daft things like that....Just my opinion.

I found this on youtube she is in this so maybe its part of the same film as it not very long, still interesting though
