A widening federal crackdown has identified a record number of people suspected of acquiring their Canadian citizenship and immigration status through fraud.
The number of newcomers under investigation for misrepresenting themselves in their dealings with Citizenship and Immigration Canada has ballooned to an historic 11,000 as a result of nation-wide enforcement.
The figure is almost double the 6,500 identified by federal officials less than a year ago, suggesting that Canada’s citizenship and immigration fraud problems may be more widespread than previously thought

Of course there is a problem when they make it so easy to bring someone over here.
"So you guys met online 2 months ago and are deeply in love?"
WELCOME TO CANADA!
I brought my American wife to Canada, and had to prove quite a bit about our relationship. They wanted a significant amount of detail and photographic proof detailing our history. It wasn't necessarily hard, but it wasn't also a snap either.

I know all about the process and I know several guys who have came here through fraudulient marriages. One guy I know actually is about to be deported back, and the Canadian girl he paid to bring him here is going to be charged any day here. There are actually dedicated photographers in Lebanon that will rent you out wedding dresses to take the wedding pictures the government requests.
And I also know a tonne of legitimate people that are happily married to someone they brought over from overseas. It really puts the government in a hard spot trying to figure out the fakes from the real.
2900 people to be stripped of Canadian Citizenship
