After acquiring immigration, Indian girl dumped her NRI husband

Canadian Immigration Fraud

I, Jagpal Singh Parmar, a born Canadian citizen, got married to Simran Kaur Phagura in India on March 12, 2005. We were introduced to each other by mutual family friends. After speaking with each other, we both decided to get married. I thought I had found everything I had always wanted in my future wife in Simran. She looked sweet, innocent, caring and loving. Her family presented themselves as a respectable, religious Indian family. Therefore, neither I nor my family ever questioned Simran or her family’s motives for the marriage.

I paid all the marriage expenses and in return only asked for her commitment to me. During the duration of my stay in India after our marriage we had no physical relationship. I thought she was shy and scared so I did not think anything of this. After 14 days of marriage I came back to Canada.

After coming back to Canada, I immediately started the sponsorship process so that Simran and I could start our life together here. We had many struggles along the way including getting her a passport and I waited what seemed like an endless NINE months for her to go through the immigration process. We spoke on the phone almost everyday during those nine months and never during any of our conversations did she ever mention any doubt about our marriage. She had her second immigration interview on October 26, 2005 and was finally granted her Visa on December 23, 2005. She called us in Canada on the very same day to inform us of the good news. She sounded very excited.

It took a couple of weeks to finalize and confirm her airplane ticket. Once the ticket was confirmed she called me to tell me that she was coming on January 9, 2006. I was excited. After nine months of waiting she was finally coming to Canada to be with me. Her flight was scheduled to arrive in Vancouver on January 9, 2006 at 5:50 am. I was so excited to see her that I arrived at the airport at 4:30. I waited over 2 hours for her to come out. When she came out not only did she did not seem excited to see me but she also looked and acted totally different from when I last saw her in India. We took a few pictures at the airport and headed home there after. When we got home she went straight to bed. Thinking she was tired from a long flight I did not wake her up.

We had invited a few immediate families over that evening to celebrate Simran’s arrival. Everyone was very eager to meet my new wife and our new family member. Once the families started to arrive, my mom came and asked Simran to get ready. After she finished getting ready, Simran came to me and told me that she did not have any feelings for me and that she did not want to be with me. She told me that she had an affair in India with a boy named Sukhdev Singh Phagura who was from the neighboring village Thayes. She also told me that her parents had forced her into this marriage. She clearly stated that she did not want to be with me and that she had gone through with the marriage to get revenge with her father. I was completely shocked. Not once during my stay in India or during the nine months that we were married did she ever indicate, suggest or even act like she had been forced into this marriage. None of the pictures taken since the first day we met give any sign that she was forced into the marriage. On the day of our marriage and wedding reception she was running around taking pictures with everyone. For someone being forced into a marriage she appeared to be quite happy and excited.

Not once during any of our conversations over the nine months of our marriage did she ever indicate, suggest or even act like she was unhappy or forced into this marriage and not once was there ever any mention of her affair. I spoke with her parents, family and friends regularly and never was there any indication. She spoke with my parents, family and friends and again no indication.

After hearing all this I was very upset and hurt. I told my mom about what Simran had said, as she could sense right away that something was wrong. When Simran did not come to greet and meet the families, everyone was curious and could sense that something was wrong. Everyone soon found out what was happening. My family and I tried to speak with Simran to get to the bottom of things and find out what her intentions were. The more we tried to talk to her the more abrupt and disrespectful she became. She sat there emotionless and unaffected by everything and everyone around her. What was supposed to be a celebration and new start, turned out to be something beyond everyone’s wildest imagination. After several hours of talking and getting nowhere we called it a night and she went to sleep in the guest room.

Monday through Wednesday night, she slept in the guest room and during the day we would talk to her about everything that had transpired and also about our future, if any. She asked for time. I was really in love with her and I did not want to let her go so I gave her more time, but the more time I gave her and the more we talked the more we came to learn of the elaborate scheme her and her family had concocted.

On Thursday both of us went out and she sounded and acted different. I really thought she was coming around. Thursday night however, was a different story. Whenever I tried to get close to her she acted as though she did not want anything to do with me. I belong to a decent, respectable, well educated family. I have never seen any man force himself on his wife. All the men in my family respect their wives. Simran seemed to be of a different mindset. She was upset that I didn’t force myself on her.

Throughout the week she had been changing her mind, sometimes asking me to give her time saying that she wanted to stay in the relationship and other times wanting out of the relationship. Friday morning she again wanted out of the relationship and wanted us to drop her off at a friend’s house. Throughout the week we had also been speaking to her parents back in India and some of her family here in North America. We spoke with her sister and brother-in-law in California who said they were willing to come to Vancouver to help settle the matter but never came. We spoke with her aunt in Vancouver who originally agreed to let Simran stay with her and her family but than called a couple of hours later saying that her kids refused to let Simran set foot in the house. We offered to drop her off at any family member’s house however neither she nor any of her family agreed to it. We were even willing to buy her a ticket to Toronto where she also has family, again she refused.

She spent all of Friday calling people we did not know. Finally, in the evening she had all her bags packed and was ready to go. We tried calling her aunt again as we did not feel comfortable dropping her off at just anyone’s house. We wanted to make sure she was safe. However, once again the aunt refused to take her in. She started playing tricks with me so I had to call the police. In the process my mother became unconscious and had to go to the hospital. This did not affect Simran at all. The police took her to the police station and a friend picked her up.

During the five days she stayed with us, her father called on a regular basis to find out how we were doing. Since she has moved out he has not called once. Also, since Simran has moved out we have found out from one of her relatives that Simran and her family had planned all this from day one. The plan was for Simran to marry me just to get Canadian Immigration. Her father had promised her that when she went back to India he would marry her to her boyfriend.

I was scammed and fooled from day one by Simran and her family. She has said that her father knew about everything and beat her to get married but her father has denied this. I feel betrayed by Simran and her family. They used me as a way to get a free ticket into Canada. So I would like to make people aware of Mr. Buta Singh Phagura, his wife Kuljit Kaur, daughters Harpreet Kaur, Simran Kaur and son Amandeep Singh and other people like them in the world. I had heard stories of things like this happening to other people but, never in my worst nightmares did I ever think it would happen to me. I did not deserve this. Nobody deserves this. I lost in every way, emotionally, financially and time wise. We have also learned from reliable sources that Sukhdev Singh Phagura, son of Milkhi Ram, is currently trying to get a vistors Visa to Canada with the intention of never returning to India. We strongly feel that Sukhdev Singh Phagura should not be granted a visitors Visa to Canada because he plans to marry Simran after getting a divorce from me.

I want justice. I want my marriage to Simran annulled, her deported back to India and charges to be laid against the Phagura family. Being a good Canadian citizen it is my right to let you know that she has frauded not only myself but also Immigration Canada to get here. I do not want to be responsible for her in Canada because she is not going to be my legal wife anymore. So I am requesting you to look at all this and help me.

Sincerely,
