Wow! Interesting Story - Aren't we in the year 2009?
Wedding dress protest highlights immigration problem (click on my title above if you want to read the full story)
Synopsis: Canadian woman had a relationship with a man from Guinea for three years, marries him in Canada and he leaves her after 4 weeks marriage. She says her "marriage just fell apart" and feels it's marriage fraud. AND (this is the kicker), she's still on the hook for three years for him financially as his immigration sponsor.
Well, at first I thought, how could she know? It says she had a relationship with him for three years (doesn't say whether correspondence or if she was physically with him there). I can understand she probably feels offended and hurt. What I'm shocked about is that Canada doesn't have parameters in place for something like that. So now this woman is on the hook AND it would appear he abused the system and using her. Why should she be on the hook? There are so many things unknown and can't make anything conclusive from that article anyway but definitely......wow! That's totally backwards in this day and age, in my opinion.

not they're still married.
