Back on topic. As an emigrant, I really feel like our immigration laws are ridiculous strenuous. I knew a guy that was married to an... Indonesian? One of those south-east Asian-Pacific countries where everything goes smoothly if you bribe people. He was able to live there with her quite easily after bribing the immigration officials a few thousand dollars. When they decided to move back to Canada, they waited ~2 years, paid ~$20,000 in lawyer bills, and were still waiting.
