so I was thinking on finding one, and I talk to some guys about it that have brought over a wife from other countries. mainly Indians, it seems the norm for them. anyways I was told that if I do that I will be responsible, finalcially for 3 years. since I wont be thinking on bringing one from India. I may have bad luck with one. I was wondering if the lady leaves you after, lets say 1 year. Is the guy who brought her over still financially responsible for her. I mean i dont wanna support her while she is living with another guy. that would suck.
Mail Order Brides

Amaya, are you such an ass that she would leave you?
All kidding aside, If you provide a woman with a decent life, treat them well, build a family for them there isn't much reason for them to leave you is there? The same applies to foreign mail order brides, except it is far easier to provide them a much better standard of living.
Many services that assist men and women to find foreign life partners have sincere enough clients, that for the most part are economic refugees. Middle Class in Canada is the high life for many of these women...
Try www.aforeignbride.com stick to the Asian and Central Americans for your best bet for lasting relationship... but that is JMO.
You are on the hook for 3 years for the wife and 10 years for any child she brings. That is the length of the undertaking you sign for Immigration.
Family Court may put you on the hook for even longer periods of time, especially for the child - up to 20 years.

Unless she has a bf closer to her age that she will be sponsoring once she gets her paper work done.
you're responsible for the length of time as denoted by immigration board. I see people wrote 3 yrs but I read in a story about a guy bringing a woman from cuba that it was 7. Plus you have to put up, $30,000.00 bond to cover medical etc.
wow so mail order brides are for the rich. i guess i should forget about getting marry
No. This is not accurate. I do this kind of law. The time limit is 3 years for spouses and 10 years for everyone else. Not 7. And the bond - if it ever happened - would only be applied in rare cases where the sponsoree immigrant was so ill that he/ she was expected to be a drain on Canadian health resources.
Yes, unless there was fraud on her part.
In this case, fraud doesn't mean that she said I love you when she was only tepid about you. Now if you could prove that she entended to leave you for Babo as soon as she could when she immigrated, that would be a different matter but that would involve far more than your word or opinion.
Perhaps in the US. In Canada, the immigration undertaking is absolute and you MUST support the sponsoree whether she scammed you over or not.
There are several different issues involved here, very briefly.
1) Arranged marriages - a norm in Indian society are different than overseas internet dating. They involve both families exchanging information and often the couple meeting when one travels back to India, do make sure one or the other doesn't say "they may be a perfect match on paper but. . ."
2) Overseas correspondence and dating (either e-mail or snail mail), the most important thing to remember is that this is not some sort of panacea, you have to try to get to know the person and visit them (several times) the same way you would anyone else you were considering marrying. You also have to be aware of cultural differences that can cause problems. Plenty of webgroups about this.
In fact it is pretty much the same under U.S. Immigration Law. That's why I bolded prove, you would have to prove that she was in a conspiracy to commit immigration fraud from the outset, in practical terms that is close to impossible to do, even when it is true. So the practical reality as you say is that you are on the hook if she does not decide to return home, or does not decide to support herself.
Just make sure your research the process VERY WELL!
And order from a reputable agency of course!
