I have had an online relationship for about 10 months now with an Iraqi man living in Iraq , we love each other, I am a Canadian citizen and have lived here all my life. If he comes to visit me and we decide to marry, can he stay or does he have to go back to Iraq? Will marrying him help bring him to Canada permanently?

If Canadian immigration law is like U.S. law, then yes. It takes time, there are forms, there are fees, I'll bet that there's interviews and other BS, but it should be possible. I would recommend going to the the Canadian immigration website (referenced below). If it's complicated, or if you are ever unsure, HIRE A LAWYER. Messing up immigration stuff can cause him to be barred forever, so it's worth it to make sure you do it right.
Oh, and never marry somebody that you just met on the internet. You should be with him face to face for no less than 7 months--people are almost always different IRL.

I'm with the others.......
If the US Immigration law is like Canada's (and we are shockingly similiar), then yes, you would be able to do that. Again there are fees, and things you have to do EXACLTY right to get him here.
Listen hun, I'm no expert here about things of this sort, but the ONE thing that scares me about ANY middleeastern man is their 'expectations' of a woman. Whether that must mean you must convert to his religion, wear the garmets required by most middleeastern men etc.. And then IS he using you for Citizenship? I don't mean to be callous and love is love and you'd like to think YOUR MAN would never do such a thing, bu until you have met him and watched him and 'been Canadian' around him - outspoken, say '2 for dinner' while he's on a guest visa etc.. I am not sure you'd fully be compatible.
NEVER marry a man off the net you have not met in the real and spent significant time with him. PLEASE! I don't care how much you trust him, it's just plain not smart.
I have met a man myself over the net. He is Canadian and I am American. We live on opposite sides of our countries (basically) I have known him on the net for 6+ years, I have known him in the real for over a year and I spent 13 weeks with him between June and Feb 28th. 2 of those visits were for 6 weeks each! He is moving here, BUT I am not committed to marrying him. I have met his Mother and all.. I just want to see how it goes, and I am trying to be smart, safe and all that jazz! I wish you both the best life has to offer you and again, I hope you are careful!

debbiejonsso!
I would like to give you some information or advise or suggestion that could assist you before jumping in the wedlock! Read and understand the following completely before you go ahead with your action!!
1. I believe marriage is fixed in the heaven and held in earth.
2. Your faith (religion), language and his faith/language has to tally. If not your married life will be marred by misunderstanding.
3. Generally any Arab man who marries a lady out side his tribe has to convince his parents and brothern. Hope it goes well...
4. Food habits & other ettiquetts should be acceptable to you both. You have to see the eating habits of Arabs with your eyes.I am not interested to explain it here and hurt you!!
5. You should not be a ladder to his landing in Canada. After two years of your married life he could divorse you and bring the Arab wife who is there in his home!!!
Incase in evrey step you see sincereity, love & affection with that person, you may sponser/invite him with a tourist visa for 30 days stay and entertain him for a short time.
Later, on his departure to Iraq, if you are sure that he could be your faithful life partner you may proceed further....
If you agree with his abilities and disabilities, you both can live together under the same roof with full of joy!!
You both should have a happy married life for ever..............
Best of luck !!
God Bless you!!

debbie, I can not think of anything more foolish than to marry an Iraqi man. I have heard confessions in counselling sessions about how foreigners marry for one reason only, and it is not out of love. Are you certain you are not being taken advantage of?

ON LINE RELATIONSHIP TEND NOT TO WORK OUT VERY WELL. SAVE YOUR MONIES AND HEARTBREAK FOR SOME ONE NEAR YOU THAT YOU CAN RELATE TO. MEN ARE MEN AND WE ALL HAVE OUR REASONS TO MARRY. WOMEN JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
