Canada's Foreign Marriage

From Yahoo Canada:
"Foreign spouses face tighter rules in Canada"

If a foreign spouse's marriage in Canada does not last two years, he or she could be deported, according to a proposed new federal rule. The Conservatives believe a two-year probationary period for foreign spouses would prevent men and women from getting away with immigration fraud by marrying Canadians just to get into the country. The Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration enforced one new regulation March 2 that says a foreign spouse who ditches her new husband must wait five years after entering Canada before sponsoring a new partner. The two-year probation is not yet in effect. It is open to public input until the beginning of April, and the ministry said it expects to have the regulation in place at the end of the summer.

^ I don't see a problem with this. The US has the same 2 year period for the Green Card and it seems to work. ^
