It is a crime for foreign nationals to marry Canadian citizens or permanent residents only to gain entry into Canada. Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is working to prevent these fraudulent marriages.

To be clear, that's not what my wife is about at all. But, for the rest of the family, I don't know.

Personal worth in Shanghai is related for many, many people to monetary worth only. Obviously something like a citizenship isn't something that is provided a clear financial value upon entering into a marriage, but it does hold a clear financial value if you are in China. That's kind of how things are here. When you're in shallow circumstances, should it be considered in dealing with family? Would you?
