Posted: 10/2/2007 2:59:53 PM | B.C. women say they are victims of 'marriage fraud'
B.C. women who sponsored their husbands to come to Canada, and then quickly divorced, say they are victims of sham marriages.
They say they were duped by their husbands and want changes to the province's sponsorship default recovery program.
Under the project, any woman who sponsors her husband to come to Canada can be held financially responsible for him for up to 10 years.
Many of the divorced men in question are still in Canada and living on social assistance. The women say they are being forced to pay for it.
Nearly 200 people filled a town hall meeting in Burnaby Wednesday night to hear from women who say they are victims of marriage fraud.
The women described how their husbands, men from Asian countries, used them to gain access to Canada.
now that its the other way around ,,awww used and have to pay ? I bet the feminist groups will have them reimbursed or let off the hook ,,or will try ..I say ..If you want to play like men ..pay like men | |

Posted: 10/3/2007 12:35:39 PM | | Meh, It's almost like a escort service. You can find lotsof hot foreign women out there and the guys dont care if the women take off as long as they hae funand dont be stupid make thewm sign a prenuptual agreement....lol. These women are not stupid andim sure they do their homework on customs and laws here so they know they can get hapf of the mans earnings without lifting a finger. Yes the hot women here are concewited and have way too much attitude and need too much attention. Hell they porobably get off on that then sex but the foreign women like someone else mentioned are trapped ina cold counytry with controlling lifestyles and the chance to come to a country that is free should make them want to give us what we want since were freeing them....lol. I mean c'mon people its fun for the guy and freedom for the women and yes they are prety much sellin their bodies for freedom no matter how you look at it. Im sure the women will have something to say about this post....lol | |

Posted: 3/20/2008 1:15:36 PM | | This route will be my next step in the ongoing and futile search for domestic bliss. There are mail order brides because men want wives but can't find any. If women want husbands they can get one easily enough without involving a third party. The women who offer themselves as mail order brides are looking to relocate from impoverished circumstances or else to immigrate to a certain country. Men will make the effort to seek out a bride when there are none available locally. I doubt there are mail order husbands. There might be a market for younger men to be companions for much older women. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 2:10:06 PM | I think it's also potentially dangerous for the women.
A foreign woman alone in a strange country with no friends, family, maybe even no english could easily fall victim to an abusive man.
Her passport could be taken from her for one, there are a lot of things that could go wrong for the woman.
It has happened before, I don't know the % rate of it happening (probably very small) but don't forget the dangers involved for the women that decide to come here.
There's also some risk of women getting forced into human trafficking/prostitution thinking they are going to their "new life" ...but that's probably a whole new topic.
Unfortunately, women meeting their husbands through brokers frequently have little opportunity to get to know their prospective spouses or assess their potential for violence. They also have little knowledge of their rights as victims of domestic violence in our country, even if they are not yet citizens or permanent residents. And tragically, it is becoming apparent that there is a growing epidemic of domestic abuse among couples who meet via international marriage brokers. Immigrant and women's advocacy groups across the country report seeing an increase in the number of these wives seeking to escape a physically abusive husband they met through an IMB. And in several cases, the abuse has progressed to murder.

Posted: 3/22/2008 2:25:28 PM | You'd never see a woman doing this type of thing.
I beg to differ with that point, just type in and Google "Mail order Husbands" and see what you come up with, only difference I guess, is that it's the woman who ends up paying for the man rather the man paying for the woman. | |

Posted: 3/22/2008 2:48:42 PM | | I think that in the case of an old, fat, balding man who pairs up with a hot young thing, they both know full well the nature of the arrangement. For whatever reason, she decided it was her best option at the time, and so did he. They can provide for each other's needs in a way that suits them both. I suspect it is more typical for an old, fat, balding man to get himself a bride who is not much younger than himself, and probably less attractive than most, since the hot young things are in high demand. There is probably more sincere affection in an arrangement based on mutual benefit, even that falls short of actual romance, than there could be found trying to date the acrimonious women who routinely announce their disdain of old, fat, balding men. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 7:54:43 AM | My take is that it depends on the person, not where they are from. At the same time, you have to study their culture because they are heavily influenced by it. Thinking about marrying a Filipina? Most likely she's going to be Catholic and wants a family. That's true for a lot of Latin American women as well. Thinking about marrying a Russian? If you're a Christian guy, she might very well be atheist.
If you live in a big city, there are a lot of foreign women around. The single ones tend to be in their 20s. In the past I've written to Latin American ladies and even visited some. I like the idea of 'single gentlemen's tours' because a dozen or so American guys will have well over 100 women to choose from. He dates some. If he likes them, he'll get their e-mail or postal address and continue to write them when he gets home. Eventually he'll find the right lady for him and use an immigration attorney or Catholic Charities to get the paperwork done for a fiancee visa to bring her here and marry her within 90 days of her arrival.
Me personally, I've gotten better treatment from foreign women I've met here and in foreign countries, so that's my preference. | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 12:35:18 PM | I want to know where to sign up at!
I have given this a lot of thought during the last several years.
I know that I would like to move to the UK somewhere.
I know that somewhere in Ireland they have a week long festival where they match people and have weddings.
I think that after writing for a year to two to someone (and they were honest) I should know whether or not we would get along well or not.
None of the males in CA seem to want to write to me so why not?
What have I got to lose? | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 12:46:25 PM | OK -- you are right there South Paw--it's creepy
I think what I am thinking of is more like the ones from the turn of the century here in the US -- or at least what I have read of them.
And I would never pose like that -- I would rather be liked for my brain than body. | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 2:43:26 PM | savanna, a male husband TO order! Uhh, around?
Also, basically the me thing applies in the US as in Canada, the brides/husbands need you to sign a form called an affidavit of Support before they are allowed to immigrate that states if they recieve financial assistance from the government you are responsible for repaying it all
http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/visa_1750.html
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis
Those are the two US govt immigration sites, they also contain all the different reasons they will deny visas, and there are a lot of reasons | |
