The wonderful life style and ample amount of opportunities attracts numerous people to immigrate and settle in Canada. For those who are not able to immigrate to Canada through legal means resort to unlawful means. One of the many tricks used by aspiring immigrants is to get married to a Canadian citizen.

Many people are of the belief that marrying a citizen of Canada will be easy ticket for them to immigrate to Canada. According to authorities, it is illegal to marry a permanent resident or Canadian citizen just for the purpose to get permanent residency of that country.

• Checking the documents
• In person visit to the home of applicants and sponsor
• Conducting interview with both the sponsor and applicant.
