A Canadian immigration court has ordered the deportation of a 29-year-old Nigerian man after ruling that his marriage to a 79-year-old Canadian woman was fraudulent.

This pivotal decision highlights the continuous efforts by authorities to address sham marriages designed to evade immigration laws.

Judge Michael Henderson delivered the ruling after immigration officials presented strong evidence suggesting that the 2021 marriage was primarily intended to secure permanent residency for the Nigerian man.

“The evidence clearly shows this marriage lacks the fundamental elements of a genuine relationship,” Judge Henderson stated in his decision.

Court records indicated multiple warning signs, including the couple’s inability to provide credible details of their relationship, the absence of cohabitation or shared financial responsibilities, and a significant age gap that raised concerns about the relationship’s authenticity.

Investigators from the Canadian Border Services Agency testified that the Nigerian national entered Canada on a visitor visa in 2019 and subsequently applied for permanent residency based on the marriage. The elderly Canadian woman, whose identity remains confidential, reportedly received financial compensation for her role in the arrangement.

Such cases have reignited discussions about immigration loopholes, with government statistics revealing a 17% increase in investigations into marriage fraud since 2020.

In light of this, the Canadian government has introduced stricter vetting processes for marriage-based residency applications, including mandatory interviews and enhanced documentation requirements. These measures are aimed at curbing what officials refer to as the rising trend of “convenience marriages” targeting the immigration system.

This ruling is part of wider immigration reforms that have resulted in a 22% increase in the rejection rate for spousal visas in the previous fiscal year. Authorities emphasize that while Canada remains welcoming to legitimate immigrants, fraudulent cases will be subject to thorough examination and significant penalties.
