Victims' Stories: Sam

• I was 9 months old when I came to Canada in 1972
• I have finished my education in Canada
• My parents always wanted me to marry some one from the old country, with same value, and religion, good and honest. (Not that there was no one in Canada) but for sake of my parents I agreed to their wishes
• I travel with my parents in October, 2003 in search of suitable bride, upon arrival many people approached us and I finally meet a girl that I thought would be the one, we have meet and talk with her for many weeks, Her parents and sister also lived in Canada.
• Finally I agreed to get marry as she already wanted to be married to me. I become found of her and she seems that she had same felling for me too.
• We got married on November 30, 2003. In December, 2003 I started the paper work for her sponsorship
• She was interviewed and rejected; we filed an appeal in Canada and were successful.
• For 3 years after marriage I send her money to cover her expenses as any husband would do for his wife. Also I paid $5000 to cover the cost of the appeal for the lawyers
• She finally got her visa and arrived in Canada on December 14, 2006.
• She stayed in my house hardly for 12 days as most of the time she wanted to stay with her sister’s place.
• On January 15, 2007 she went to police with help of her sister and parents and lodged a complaint that she does not want to live with me and need help to remove her belongings.
• She has taken every thing, including gifts of jewelers and Diamond ring.
• I know now that she with the help of her family decided to take advantage of me and my parents. Her parents could not afford or they where not eligible to sponsor her them self in to Canada and they used me and my family to do so. This is a crime. This is a fraud.
• Since the day she left we did not see her nor she have contacted me or my family to explain why she have committed this fraud. Which is now so obvious to all of us?
