It is reduced to 3 years only if you get married BEFORE he is issued a visa. If he gets issued a fiancee visa, then you marry, you are responsible for 10 years.

According to Immigration Quebec explanations, in the Province of Quebec: If the fiances get married within the 90 days period upon arrival in Canada then the sponsoring period is reduced to 3 years. If they don't get married within that 90 days period, the 10 years period applies plus, Immigration Canada won't be very happy and could cancel the visa. Apparently, this has been made to facilitate the sponsor who can not travel outside Canada (for different reasons) to get married. This applies if the sponsor resides in the Province of Quebec so the Canada-Quebec accord is involved when the fiance visa is requested and granted. I don't know what will apply if the spouses move to an other province or get divorced and the immigrant spouse move to an other province...

If the papers were processed in Quebec and the couple originally were living in Quebec, I believe it would be Quebec law that takes precedence. Unless, of course, the government could prove that the sponsor was just residing in Quebec to get the 3-year law and not the 10-year responsibility. If they divorce and he/she moves to another province/country, I don't see why the sponsor would be responsible for other provinces'/countries' laws.

According to the Constitution, Immigration is Federal jurisdiction. By virtue of the Canada-Quebec agreement, Quebec has certain powers but the visa is granted by Canada. Of course the sponsor won't be responsible if the immigrant spouse moves out of Canada. However, I suspect there must be something in the agreement or in the Federal Immigration law for cases where the sponsoree moves to another province. Unfortunately I don't have the Immigration law neither the Canada-Quebec agreement.

If anybody knows a website where I could get a copy of the Immigration law and Canada-Quebec agreement, please let me know.

Apparently if you do not get married within the 90 days period, he will face expulsion because when the visa was issued it was based on the condition that you would get married within 3 months. Now we all know that by the time he is expulsed from Canada it could take 10 years. I don't know what happens if you divorced and the other one moves out of Quebec. "L'engagement financier" is with Quebec. Now if he receives welfare payments from Ontario are you responsible?

Re:immigration law on-line reference

It would be great to have an on-line reference source for US immigration law, as well as Canadian. Is there such a thing right now? last I knew the lawyers were claiming that things were changing very fast and were in a kind of confusion and it was very easy for INS to basically so whatever they wanted. Maybe that has changed, and things have settled down. Can anyone give us websites?
