Immigration: Marriage Of Convenience

Foreign Nationals Dept: Jotika Ashni Reddy, 33, is accused of marrying one man on Sep. 27, 2006, in the Vancouver suburb of Surrey and a second man on Jan. 26, 2008, in nearby Delta, while she was married to a third man, according to Calgary Herald. "Each of them applied for permanent resident status on the basis of the marriage," said Crown prosecutor Jenna Hyman and a woman is facing Canada's first immigration-related bigamy charge in a B.C. marriage-of-convenience scheme. Reddy then tried to sponsor the two men -- both foreign nationals -- for permanent residency. As reported in the news.
