Taking a rather serious note of the increasing cases of forced weddings, polygamy, and/or domestic violence, allegedly indulged by some new entrants to Canada, the involved department–Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC)–has reportedly issued a strict warning to such people through its document released on the subject lately.

Reportedly, the document carries a firm warning against violence & human trafficking biased towards any specific sex or gender. On the very first page of the text made public, it is visibly pointed-out that, in the Maple Country, there are strict laws against being wedded to more than one individual at a given time. Significantly, the Canadian law prevents an individual from gaining admission into the nation, via being wedded to over one individual despite the fact that the same may have taken place long back.

March 2013–Fraud Prevention Month

March 2013 has been observed as Fraud Prevention Month even as the attempt apparently is to duly notify the new entrants to be on their guard against immigration racket. During March this year, Immigration Canada organized numerous activities to make certain that the outsiders in Canada are thoroughly informed about the laws & regulations in the country even as the same will duly assist them to protect themselves against what is called ‘Wedding of Convenience’.

Meanwhile, the Canadian Immigration Minister has reportedly observed that he has come to know about many cases of the aliens being emotionally shattered, thanks to being stuck with one or the type of wedding fraud. Jason Kenney, the minister, also strongly criticized certain gruesome acts, such as female genital disfigurements & honor crimes. He also said that it’s vital to be unambiguous with people involving the legal & cultural restrictions & expectations in the nation.
