Question

Help answer this question below.

I have just heard that someone I know has been offered $20,000 to go to another country and marry a girl (sight unseen) to bring her back to Canada as his wife. What, if anything, should I do? (MYOB is one option).

I do not understand how someone getting married like that is your business.

Why would you have to do anything?

- It is illegal to accept money to bring someone into the country and also illegal to marry someome based on wanting residency.

- To Answer your question, Sweet T.....
  It is every citizen's business...I am not against immigration - I am an immigrant myself. But I think proper channels should be used. I oppose blatant disregard of our laws. Or of someone being supported to 'jump the queue'. Not fair to the thousands of people wh are respecting the laws of this country relating to immigration.
  Did you downrate my question?

- Back to the question, I asked because I needed more information on your question to answer correctly.
  I agree they should do it properly, I actually know someone that did this, a guy from China, she got her college tuition paid for.

Wait and see what happens. If this person actually shows up with a strange woman, do something about it. Luckily, immigration has many requirements and unless they are both prepared to be interviewed and have studied each others info, they will fail and she will be denied immigration status. Regardless, if you aren't part of the solution you are part of the problem. If you have any evidence that she does make it to Canada and it is not just talk, take it to the INS department. Our country is beautiful and we need to protect it.

go with your gut feeling (stated in the OP) and unless the person who got the marriage offered is an extremely close friend or relative, mind your own damn business.

- So...you think it is OK to turn a blind eye to an illegal act?
