HELP REQUIRED--Marriage Fraud!

[Phuldeep]

Hello People,

LONG POST ALERT!!

I need your help and advice on a personal matter.

My younger sis got married in Jan 2017 to a PR of Canada. They had an arranged marriage via matrimonial site. Our family did meet each other before they got married.

They got engaged in June 2016 when the guy came to India for the vacation. My father suddenly passed away due to Heartattack in Nov 2017. Before he passed away he booked marriage halls and all functions and we honoured his last wishes by not postponing the marriage and did the marriage in a reputed hall with all the amenities in Jan 2017. But thie guy (unfortunatley my Bro-in-law) never paid last respects to my father before marriage when he visited India.

This guy went back to Canada in Feb 2017 to continue his job in Bank.

Here is what has happened. The girl in question is my younger sis. She was workinng as a Professor in reputed college in New Delhi, India. She left her job and went to Canada (Surrey, Vancouver) to be with her husband. Before she came to Canada, her husband used to pressurize her to come early and leave her job and studies (She was pursuing her PHD in SPorts). I was pregnant when she came and was due early November. I live in Montreal. Before she came to canada, my bro in law used to say that my sis should come to me at the time of delivery as I have no one from my family staying in Canada and my sis would be of great emotional support at the time of delivery. When she came and asked to book the tickets for Montreal, he started making excuses daily that he will book tickets today or tomorrow but never did. Just before 2 weeks of my delivery I booked her to and fro tickets from Vancouver to Montreal and Vice a versa. He actually showed his true colors when on the day of the flight he said they need your help, they should have booked your ticket, why would i book your tickets? We had no problem in booking the tickets rather we just wanted to have the clear picture so that we can plan our finances accordingly knowing the baby is coming soon.

When she came to me, he started calling and texting her. He abused her, caller her names and asked her to go back to India from Montreal itself and never come back. He even abused my mother and all in my family and that shitty person didnt even left my late father. He then started saying you have come for the PR which was not the true case. When she went back to Vancouver, he again started pressurizing her and used to call her names and made fun of her English, her job and studies and abused her emotionally, mentally and Financially. Whatever he shopped for her, he used to make her count.

She came to India in Jan 2018 as my mother is not keeping well. As soon as she landed her sister in law, who is adivorcee and stays with her blocked her from FB and whatsapp. After 2-3 days, this guy stopped picking her call and stopped texting her. Mind this happened in Jan 2018. She landed in INdia on 13th Jan and after 15th Jan, no communication.

My mom tried calling his mom who is also in Canada with his son and she never picked the call and never called back. My mom tried calling this guy multiple times and he also never picked the call and never respected her to give a call back.

My sis had to attend her best friend/s marriage in March and when she texted her bro in law (The entire family is in Canada in Vanouver), that she needs to enter their Delhi home to get the clothes for the wedding, he replied after- days that whenever they will visit India, they will Talk. Seriously?? They changed the home lock before my Sis came to India and never told her this! They simply blocked her from everywhere without any cause and in Vancouver they all used to be lovey dovey.

Now this guy is not answering anyone's call from our Family. But on the other hand, he is active on Matrimonial Websites daily and looking for another bride and has posted himseld as "NEVER MARRIED". He is going to ruing another girl's life too.

My sister didnt had the PR card when she left as she had sent pics for her PR card again as Requested by Immigration Department.

TO ALL OF YOU, I need advice what to do?
How can I being her sister(victim's sister) in Canada, report this guy as a fraud to the authorities?
What all Can i Do to make that these things are not happening again?
How can My sis know her PR card Status?
Can she come to Canada without PR card?
If she takes alegal action againt him from India, that would be better or she should come to Canada and then file the complaint against them?
What all are her options?

Please help, we allare in dire need of help and advice as we spent lot of money on her marriage and this is the end result!!

Thank you in advance for reading my LOOONG post!!

Unfortunately not much you can do but get a divorce. If he physically abused her you can report him to the police. This is really a civil matter. Did he apply for spousal sponsorship? If she is a PR she can apply for a prtd. He may have cancelled her sponsorship. You can contact CIC to advise him that he is trying to marry someone else while already married (bigamy) and he seems to be providing immigration in exchange for financial support but that also highlights your case.

How can I being her sister(victim's sister) in Canada, report this guy as a fraud to the authorities?

Unfortunately there is nothing in your account of events that warrants any report to the authorities.

How can My sis know her PR card Status?

Your sister is a Canadian permanent resident. The card is not necessary and can be replaced.

Can she come to Canada without PR card?

Yes.

If she takes alegal action againt him from India, that would be better or she should come to Canada and then file the complaint against them?

In Canada I see no possible cause except if there were serious threats made as when you claimed he abused your sister when she was with you in Montreal and you have reliable evidence for it.
In India there is nothing preventing you from filing a complaint although it will be of no harm to him as it will not affect his status or anything and cannot be extradited for it as any marital disputes issues are not recognized in Canada as crimes.

Hello People,

LONG POST ALERT!!

I need your help and advice on a personal matter.

My younger sis got married in Jan 2017 to a PR of Canada. They had an arranged marriage via matrimonial site. Our family did meet each other before they got married.

Sorry to read about the emotional and mental trauma that your sister is going through.

How can I being her sister(victim's sister) in Canada, report this guy as a fraud to the authorities?

Contrary to what you might believe (and not what you want to hear), he has not committed any immigration or marriage fraud.

What all Can i Do to make that these things are not happening again?

File for a divorce..... send a copy of the divorce decree to CPC-M.... and move on in life. It's not easy to do this in reality (the 'moving on' bit) but Time is the best healer.

How can My sis know her PR card Status?

Her PR status continues to remain valid unless revoked or renounced.

Can she come to Canada without PR card?

She can have her PR card mailed to your mailing address.

If she takes alegal action againt him from India, that would be better or she should come to Canada and then file the complaint against them?
What all are her options?

I don't think she can take any legal action against him other than filing police charges for mental torture in India. The guy has not demanded dowry. So this would make the police charges quite weak.

And, as he is a Canadian resident, Indian police cannot take any action against him until he returns to India.

As for him misleading potential partners on matrimonial sites, your sister can file complaints on those sites to have his profile deleted. She must retain screenshots of those profiles (and she must be able to unequivocally prove that it is indeed him who has posted those profiles) and use that in her divorce petition

 

[canuck78]

Did she ever land as a PR? There is no mention of that in your story. She seems to have arrived in Canada relatively quickly after her marriage so perhaps she also had a trv.

Thank you for the Prompt Reply. I really appreciate it.

What is CPC-M??

We want to file the divorce, but was initiating a call with them which they are ignoring.

Did she ever end as a PR? There is no mention of that in your story. She seems to have arrived in Canada relatively quickly after her marriage so perhaps she also had a trv.

She had the Landing paper when she came and she was asked to submit the photos again which she did 1 month before she came back to India. Her PR card didnt came or may be it was not told to her by her husband if it even arrived.

Can she asked for PR card status and if yes where? Can she have her PR card mailed again to my address?

Instead of waiting for their family to call..... and/or waiting for guy to file a divorce petition (and he could use any divorce grounds that could be damaging to your sister's future), her lawyer in India can send a lawyer's notice first.

Of course, this should be done only if your sister truly believes there is no scope for reconciliation and the marriage has broken down completely

 

[zardoz]

Maybe he doesn't realise that he can't sponsor a new partner for the rest of the existing sponsorship undertaking period and that he remains responsible the OP's sister even if she divorces him.

 

[canuck78]

She should also apply for a prtd is she wants to come back to Canada soon.

 

[canuck78]

Probably doesn't know about the rule seems more about money. OP mentioned financial abuse.

@Phuldeep

Thanks Bryanna for quick response.

We will initiate divorce letter soon.

You mentioned PR Status can be revoked or renounced. In what all circumstances these can be done??

Thanks Zardoz,

I didn’t understand the last part - he remains responsible the OP's sister even if she divorces him.

Please help me in explaining what you meant by above.

Thanks Canuck. For prtd she needs to go to the embassy?

I didn’t understand what you meant by Financial abuse as mentioned by OP?

Please explain in detail as I don’t get this

 

[zardoz]

Sponsorship means that for a period of three years from the date that your sister "landed" as a Permanent Resident, her sponsor is financially responsible for her and avoiding her needing to go onto welfare.
