South Asian Community: Marriages Of Convenience

Immigration Laws Dept: The most common type of fraud occurs after Canadians sponsor foreign spouses to live with them. After being granted permanent residence, the new arrival lands in Canada and abandons the sponsor, according to CBC. "This is very unfortunate ... it's a shame for all the people here," he said at a packed Brampton town hall meeting called to address the issue on Thursday night. 'The law is not hard. It's easy to break in.' Ashpreet Badwal A Toronto area MP is calling on the federal government to make changes to national immigration laws in order to make it harder for immigrants who enter into marriages of convenience so they can live in Canada. "It's a big problem here," said Bramalea-Gore-Malton Liberal MP Gurbax Singh Malhi. Malhi estimates that within his riding home to a large South Asian community he hears about two or three such cases every month. As reported in the news.
